McCain annoys conservatives, gets spanked by Democrats

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

In one of the most inexplicable moves to date, John McCain aired a web-ad yesterday, "Dems Praise McCain," extolling his willingness to reach across the aisle and work with Democrats in an effort to revive his now defunct "maverick" image.  The ad includes clips of Democrats saying nice things about McCain (the most recent of which is more than two years old).

This was stupid! stupid! stupid!  All the ad does is serve to remind conservative Republicans why they distrusted and despised John McCain in the first place.  The ad will only serve to depress more conservatives who may decide to stay at home and simply not vote in November because they do not have a candidate they can support.

The DNC rapid response team was quick to respond to the McCain ad with an ad of its own making the point that John McCain and George W. Bush are one and the McSame.  The McCain of 2000 would not vote for the McCain of 2008.  Oh, so true! This was a lose-lose move by the McCain campaign.  His campaign team continues "fumbling, bumbling, stumbling…" as Boomer at ESPN would say.  Why hasn’t McCain fired these losers?
