She observed to Russert: "Republican Sen. John McCain says the ad is dishonest and dishonorable." She then asked: "Should the Bush campaign be doing the same thing?"
The way I read it, she's not asking the Bush people to apologize, but to condemn the ad. Technicality, I know, but it poses an interesting question. Do you think the Bush team will condemn the ad ? If they do, will it help or hurt them ?
The White House has already responded. They say that they are opposed to all 527 organization ads, and point out that W has been the target of $62 million in 527 attack ads. No way will they condemn the substance of the ads.
