MoveOn: "Reckless McCain"

Here's the video from MoveOn.org--according to the press release, the anti-war group will air the ad in "early primary states"--which this year could mean just about any state in the country.

As the Hotline points out, "The more liberals bash McCain, the more comfortable conservatives tend to get." Truer words were never written. The idea that this ad could do any damage to McCain in a primary is absurd. Republicans don't take their cues from the defeatist advertising of MoveOn.org--images of burning American tanks? Do they seriously think that will help them get their message across in Red America?

64 percent of Republicans approve of the president's handling of the war in Iraq. How does tying McCain to Iraq hurt him in the primary? If MoveOn.org really wants to go after McCain, they should endorse him as the Republican most likely to take action on global warming. But this...this is a gift. I'm feeling more comfortable about a McCain presidency already.
