I think we can all agree that John McLame is full of s**T when he says he wants
the NC GOP to not run the anit-Obama ad...he's just asking them to stop so he can look magnaminous, knowing full well that they are going to run it anyway, a sort of wink-wink agreement, because it does the damage, and McLame can say claim he wants to be above all that.

Am I right? Are we all in agreement?

1. Yes. It also allows the MSM to "analyze" (give free airtime to ) the ads

3. Yep. Bush did the same thing. His lackeys did all the nasty work -
he pretended he was the compassionate conservative. :hi:

5. He calls attention to it
and because he 'spoke out' it will get free air time on all the talk shows. Brilliant.

15. actually this makes the primary battle look tame
it is by the same guy that did the willie horton ad

and it is pretty harsh and obama will have to answer it

this is going to get ugly fast

17. Yeah, the primary battle has been SOP in my opinion...
...I really wonder if some of BO's supporters have ever really followed a Presidential election yet? You're right, Obama will have to answer, and so far he hasn't figured out a way to turn the tables on them.

14. Well, you'll probably find out soon enough...
...I mean, even though BO ain't the nominee, he will be the nominee and I think he should ask HRC right now to be VP and the primary season is over, so they can throw back whatever is tossed....the trick is to focus on what they're doing, and make it be about them, the Repukes and their dirty tricks, I mean.

23. Fine. Bring it on - the more blatant the better.
It's time for people to decide where they stand and what their values really are.

34. Yeah, even when he was campaigning, Bill didn't make his points well...
...I was starting to look at him early on, thinking he might be a strong candidate, but he kept putting his foot into his mouth.

25. If he wants them not to run it, he should call the NC GOP and tell them
McDinosaur is the presumptive nominee and now the leader of his party. They will not say no if he tells them not to run the ads.

28. I read him saying he was going to ask them to stop running, adding
something like, "but of course, you know I have no authority." BS.
