McCain Tries to Rile Up Clinton Voters Against Obama
SEDONA, Ariz. -- A new television ad by Sen. John McCain aims to tap into anger at Sen. Barack Obama among the legions of Hillary Clinton supporters by suggesting that the Democratic nominee dissed his one-time rival.

Erasing any doubt that McCain has his sights set on Clinton voters, the new ad uses Clinton's own words to suggest that Obama passed her over because of the tough campaign she waged. The ad is titled "Passed Over."

"She won millions of votes. But isn't on his ticket," an announcer says. "Why? For speaking the truth."

,,,,

The idea is to portray Obama as a petulant and angry rival who refused to consider Clinton as a running mate because of his anger over her comments. And to tap into Clinton supporters who just might vote for McCain.

1. Any true Democrat would never vote for that LYING PIECE OF SHIT



No REAL Democrat would vote in 4-8 more years of BUSH III.

13. You can't only blame him...
The people in the news and MSM are the ones constantly pushing this and keeping it in front of people, they are handing stuff like this to him. They want the controversey and he is using it to his advantage. I blame the people that won't let this go more than McCain.
