McCain media adviser says Democrats hurting themselves
Mark McKinnon, John McCain's media guru, said today that Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are helping McCain and doing "a lot" of damage to each other with their daily barrage of invectives.
McKinnon, in an interview with National Journal On Air, also confirmed what he told the Globe last month -- that if Obama wins the Democratic nomination, he will step down from his official role with McCain because he admires Obama and does not want to run negative ads against him.
"I'm a man of my word," McKinnon said.
Asked whether part of his hesitancy is because Obama could be the nation's first African-American president, McKinnon replied, "I suppose that is in part, but it's more that I just like and admire the guy. I've come to a point in my life where I think character is important. I think he has great character."
Asked about Clinton, on the other hand, McKinnon echoed some of Obama's talking points.
"I think that fundamentally she represents an extension of the Clinton legacy, which this country is just tired of," he said. "They are tired of the Clinton-style politics."
EXACTLY! FINALLY IT'S OBVIOUS....THANK YOU MR. MCKINNON!
Thanks for posting this Obama 08
It is about time for Clinton to give up and let Obama start compaigning for the presidency.
If I were Mr. McKinnon, I would worry about how Citizen McCain is going to get elected... "good luck''"
The Democrats are going to emerge from this presidential primary process like jack asses on steriods....
What is the purpose of a "boot camp" ... :-)
The Republicans could resurrect Reagan from the grave and the GOP will still end up as "smoking toast."
YOU CAN COUNT ON THE BEING TRAMPLED, MY FRIEND!
Fact of the matter is OBAMA STARTED THE FIGHTING AND PERSISTED IN IT WAY BACK IN 07. Obama is a sleaze and so is his racist pastor. Hillary wanted nothing to do with Obama's sleazy attacks and his preacher's racism. I am voting NADER if Obama wins the nomination.
