McCain vetoes aides’ proposals to go after Obama on Wright, too

(Hot Air) - The perfect companion piece to Marc Ambinder’s reminder this morning that, for all the bluster about what Ayers reveals of Obama’s judgment and character, Maverick’s not pushing the issue as hard as he could. No major ad buys, no speeches devoted to the subject, not even a debate mention yet. Either he considers this line of attack dishonorable or he finds it absurd to be pushing it in the middle of a global financial meltdown, so he’s going to half-ass it by bringing it up occasionally, hoping the media takes the baton and runs with it, but otherwise not dirtying his hands too much. How that adds up to a winning strategy is beyond me, but then I haven’t really grasped McCain’s strategy since he effectively diminished The One this summer by comparing him to Paris and Britney.
