John McCain will reverse himself and start the attacks on Rev. Wright
In commenting on why John McCain would not use attacks on Rev. Jeremiah Wright in his campaign, McCain chief advisor Charlie Black had this to say:
“There’s a big difference between an unrepentant terrorist who blew up the Pentagon and the Capitol and somebody’s pastor, even if we might not agree with the views of the pastor. A big difference.”
But when it comes to winning, being a man of his word takes a back seat to winning. You can guarantee the airwaves will be overwhelmed with McCain ads that prominently feature Wright.
“Look, John McCain has told us a long time ago before this campaign ever got started, back in May, I think, that from his perspective, he was not going to have his campaign actively involved in using Jeremiah Wright as a wedge in this campaign,” Davis said. “Now since then, I must say, when Congressman Lewis calls John McCain and Sarah Palin and his entire group of supporters, fifty million people strong around this country, that we’re all racists and we should be compared to George Wallace and the kind of horrible segregation and evil and horrible politics that was played at that time, you know, that you’ve got to rethink all these things.
“And so I think we’re in the process of looking at how we’re going to close this campaign,” Davis continued. “We’ve got 19 days, and we’re taking serious all these issues.”
Someone not connected to the Obama campaign hurt McCain’s feelings, thus McCain’s word becomes meaningless. Hey, McCain is willing to say that he had to go extremely negative on Obama because Obama didn’t accept McCain’s demands of 10 town hall debates. So basically, when McCain makes decisions about being honorable, he only means that he’ll be as honorable as he needs to be to win. And with his campaign sinking, that means honor is out the window, right along with McCain’s word.
Guaranteed, the last several days before the election, if not before will be wall-to-wall Wright from the McCain campaign. He’ll be all they talk about.
