McCain Says He Is Proud of ‘Celebrity’ Ad
By Michael Cooper

Update | 4 p.m.: RACINE, Wis. – Senator John McCain said here Thursday that he was “proud” of his campaign’s commercial likening Senator Barack Obama to celebrities like Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Mr. McCain – who has not taken questions from his traveling press in a week – made the remarks after a young woman at a town-hall-style meeting here asked him if he had “flip-flopped” from his earlier pledge to refrain from mudslinging. She asked specifically asked about the new Britney Spears commercial. “I was like, Oh-Kayyyy,’’ she said of the ad, stretching out the word, apparently to indicate skepticism.

“Campaigns are tough, but I’m proud of the campaign we’ve run,’’ said Mr. McCain, whose campaign has broadcast a series of negative ads about Mr. Obama.

“All I can say is we’re proud of that commercial,’’ he said.
