McCain's ad swan song, for a while
What apparently will be John McCain's last attack ad -- at least for several days -- goes after Barack Obama and Joe Biden for disingenuousness on clean coal.
The spot shows Obama singing the praises of clean coal technology as part of his alternative energy plan -- and contrasts it with Biden telling a voter in Ohio that "We're not supporting clean coal."
The ad puts an coal miner's helmet and pick on Biden and ends with these words on the screen: "Ready to pander? Yes. Ready to lead? No."
The campaigns started tussling over the issue on Tuesday, with both creating new coalitions to push their positions.
McCain announced this afternoon that he is suspending his campaign, including TV ads, until a deal is reached on

right on backlineguy. That is exactly how it transpired. Does anyone really expect to see an unbiased comment here? For the love of whatever is holy to you, this is the bastion of liberalism. This is where Ted Kennedy didn't even get a ticket for
Chappaquiddick. Whatever is written here will be straight out of the Democrats' playbook. If it isn't liberal, it's evil. And now they're trying to elect a "Playground Coordinator" as President. Harvard Snobs, Boston Beanheads, etc.
We have massive coal resources that can service our energy needs for decades. Pennsylvania, which Obama/Biden is in danger of losing, is a huge coal mining state - especially its western half. Ditto for West Virginia and part of Ohio, both of which are being closely contested in this election.
What a dumb thing to say. And it's even dumber, given the fact that the guy at the head of his ticket, Barack Obama, has claimed he is FOR the coal industry.
Sometimes one event changes the course of an election. If Joe Biden's barroom-loudmouth comments about coal turn enough Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia voters to McCain so that those (very close) states are lost, this will be one of them.
