McCain, "I run for personal ambition"
McCain has provided Obama on a silver platter the key for victory in the general election. But, not if the Obama campaign does not use it.

As Keith Olbermann pointed out on "Countdown", John McCain has written that he runs for President purely out of personal ambition. Not only did he write it, but McCain narrated the book for tape, so we have his own voice speaking these words:

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time." (Worth Fighting For, by John McCain).

This is an astonishing statement. Used properly, it is the gift that will keep on giving. It beats Kerry's "I was for it before I was against it" by miles.

1. That would make a great ad.
They can even use McCain's audio book for the quote.

all dems have to do is superimpose some of his creepy video 'smiles' over it.

this one is perfect length, too.

one of the best ready-made scripts you could possibly hope for

3. I agreee! IMO, McCain's a Flip Flopper as well as an Opportunist...

;-) There's not enough time in a YouTube video--to cover all of McCain's flip-flops!
