I haven’t seen the content of the ads anywhere - have you?
I mean, damn, McCain pulled this stunt, Edwards did it, heck, I even think Gore at one point called a press conference to pull an ad. Only difference, least from what I recall, is that the candidate comes out, decrys the ad, then staffers, after being /asked/ for a copy of the ad, then distribute it to the media, conveniently in a form that can be played on campaign supplied equipment right there, as well as a printed transcript of what is in the ad.
There’s a reason why the media started laughing when Huckabee stated he was going to run the ad - it completely undermines the entire strategy of taking the high road, means that if there’s any backlash you can’t blame it on anyone other than the candidate. Perhaps I’m a veteran of far too many campaigns, but the Huckster’s campaign is like a parody done by Mad TV of every other campaign in modern history.
