Look, he benefited from this 527 nonsense and the only one I blame for that is McCain, who himself is a victim of attacks from these groups too which is sweet justice to those of us that don’t like the restrictions placed on speech by McCain/Feingold.
I guess I should have also asked you to suggest something that was actually reasonable. You suggest he should have spent scarce advertising dollars to run ads denouncing an independent expenditure committee. That would not be a smart use of limited campaign resources. And he did condemn the robo-calls in NH, as he had earlier in Iowa.
All that said, if what the robo-calls say is the truth, then I’m wondering what all the fuss is about. I actually received one, and it sounded professional, inoffensive, and truthful. I for one was not the least bit offended. But whadda I know...once I realized what it was, I hung up before it finished. What exactly did the calls say, if anything, that was untrue?
