Obama Campaign: McCain Is Riding The "Low Road Express"
By Greg Sargent - July 31, 2008, 3:50PM
This gave me a bit of a sense of deja vu. On a conference call with reporters just now, the Obama campaign moved swiftly to charge that McCain's recent attacks prove he's chosen a low road at odds with his professed desire for a "civil" campaign, a similar line of attack that the Obama camp used on such calls for months against Hillary.
Obama campaign manager David Plouffe appeared on the call for the first time in awhile, suggesting either that the Obama camp is worried about the attacks or that Obama advisers sense an opening to jiu-jitsu McCain in the same way they did his primary foe.
Plouffe announced a new Web site, the

"We hit another low note every day from this campaign," Plouffe said. "Observers from across the country, including some prominent Republicans, are questioning the tone of Senator McCain's campaign...This is not the John McCain Americans thought they were seeing."
Plouffe hammered away at the idea that McCain's fusillade of attacks show that a turning point in the race had arrived -- or, as he put it, a "critical mass" of attacks.
