New McCain ad uses former out-of-state staffer to hold McCain sign
Of all the people at the several campaign rallies and town hall meetings John McCain has attended in New Hampshire this year, it may seem a little odd that the one person the campaign selects for their commercial holding a "New Hampshire for McCain" sign was an out-of-state former paid McCain staffer.
The 30-second spot below shows introduces McCain as a leader and as a person with a long history in the Granite State. Just before he says the words "Live Free or Die" the commercial cuts to a shot of Dwayne Carson, a Washington resident who was laid off with several other New Hampshire staffers when McCain had money troubles.
A McCain spokeswoman did not return a phone call for comment.
