McCain's "dollar bill" ad -June 27, 2008
I haven't seen anyone else here point this out, and I thought it was worth at least a post.
In case anyone's been living under a rock, Barack Obama pointed out recently how he didn't "look like the men on the one dollar and five dollar bills." This is a relatively innocuous line that Obaba's used to blunt concerns about him since the primaries.
The McCain campaign, in a classically manipulative Rovian move, recently decided to trump that line into charges of playing the race card.
How do we know McCain's rapid-response "outstage" was all scripted in advance? Because McCain's Campaign, clearly anticipating the standard Obama line, posted this web ad on June 27.
Kudos to Huffpo and specifically blogger Jed for bringing this to light.
