Obama Camp: McCain Running "A Campaign Not Worthy Of The Office He's Seeking"

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/obama_camp_mccain_running_a_ca.php

The Obama campaign, sensing a shift in the media narrative in response to McCain's constant lies and adver-sleazements, keeps up the hits on McCain's character with this scorcher from spokesperson Bill Burton:

"We will take no lectures from John McCain who is cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern Presidential campaign history. His discredited ads with disgusting lies are running all over the country today. He runs a campaign not worthy of the office he is seeking."

The statement is a response to an earlier statement from the McCain campaign decrying Obama's "scathing personal attacks," a reference to the Obama camp's hit on McCain's integrity in a statement late yesterday.

Clearly, the battle for independents will be fought out on this new "character" turf. During the primary the Obama campaign fought out the "character" battle with great skill, managing to criticize Hillary's character relentlessly without Obama appearing to be dragged down from his "new politics" pedestal.

Fighting this battle with McCain, however, could prove tougher. McCain has been described by the press for years and years as a pure-hearted and apolitical maverick who would never stoop to gutter political tactics.
