McCaing now has Steve Schmidt, a Rove Protege in charge of his campaign. Schmidt is behind the recent negative ads. In 2004, he worked for bush and in the war room used a slogan "Its the Hypocracy Stupid" and was responsible for the "I voted for the war before I voted against it ad. I'm waiting for the Obama people to hoist him on his own petard. I think they are waiting for an ad just nasty enough to be a perfect contrast to all of McCain's statements promising NOT to run personal attacks. The ads coming down the stretch will likely start with promises of a clean campaign followed by a digest of nasty ads. The tagline could be "Straight shooter" yeah right.
