McCain: Our Campaign Isn't "Negative In The Slightest"
By Greg Sargent - August 1, 2008, 4:38PM
John McCain just held a presser in Florida. Here are the, er, high points:

* Said "I don't think our campaign is negative in the slightest." There are negative McCain ads running as we speak, and in the very same presser, he attacked Obama for injecting race into the campaign again.

* Blamed Obama for bringing up the issue of race in the campaign, and repeatedly said that Obama had "retracted" his charge that McCain is using race. It was obvious by the repetition of "retracted" that this was a cooked up talking point, and it was apparently a reference to the fact that the Obama campaign said it didn't think McCain had used race in the campaign.

But this wasn't a "retraction" at all: The Obama camp hasn't conceded he said that in the first place.

* Said he wants to move on from the race debate. But his campaign manager Rick Davis aggressively attacked Obama for allegedly playing the race card just today.

* Described a new Web ad implying that Obama believes he's the Messiah as "having some fun."

Is it happy hour yet?

1. Isn't use of the word "don't" employing a negative?

:shrug:

2. Note this: McCain is trying to make Obama's campaign look uptight! Let's not be reactive n/t

3. Is he THAT drunk this early in the evening?

not "negative in the slightest"

oh brother

[Thrill]

4. They have to be happy. They've got MSM playing their ads over and over

[Warpy]

5. Translation:

"We really believe this stuff! We're batshit crazy! Please help us!"

I'm sure the MSM is dizzy over having something they can play over and over again so they don't have to report the economic news. After all, blondes have been staying far too healthy to provide filler, lately. Even Britney has been unobliging.

6. The Rovians & McNasty are real pleased.

The Corp Media is playing their ads for free. Their agenda is to knock & mock Sen. Obama & take away the real issues America faces. It seems to be working well for McNasty & the Rovians, so far.

Will Obama step up & go on the offensive?
