Looks like McCain’s McCain/Feingold reform has come in handy for him. The Maverick Conservative has a great post on McCain’s attacks over the weekend.
As Andrew McCarthy pointed out, look how McCain is taking advantage of his attack on the Frist Amendment here (McCain/Feingold). McCain’s “reforem” prevents organizations from pointing out LIES of a candidate (or organization supporting a candidate) within 30 days of a primary. That means that NO GROUP could point out McCain’s LIE about Romney in Florida. Now ROMNEY himself can talk about it. But otherwise you have to rely on the MEDIA (that is why McCain/Feingold was really a MEDIA POWER GRAB, as well as being an attack on the First Amendment)…
I can assure you: McCain is full of it: a suck up to the media rather than a true “straight talker”. He got the REPUTATION for straight talk by SUCKING UP TO THE MEDIA. He has always said what he thinks will endear him to the press atany particular time–whether it is consistent with what he said yesterday or not. McCain has NEVER been intellectually consistent, or interested in FACTS. It is no accident that the McCain/Kennedy immigration (amnesty) bill is all about DECEPTION (see the more than fifty entires in this blog under the general heading of “illegal immigration deception”).
Here’s what Andrew McCarthy had to say:
I’m starting to think Sen. McCain should not be allowed to mention the other candidates’ names within 30 days before a primary. I mean, he levels an allegation about Romney that’s just flat not true, and if some organization wanted to run an add calling him on it, they would be in violation of his “reform” of campaign finance regulations. What a racket!
Also, I believe there may be some Latter-Day Saint readers of this blog. Mitt made a statement today on yesterday’s passing of the President of the Mormon Church.
“I was saddened to learn of the death of Gordon B. Hinckley. Ann and I respect him as a man of great faith and character. Like all people who knew him, we were deeply touched by his humility, his sense of humor and by the way he inspired so many people around the world. We will miss his leadership.”
Here is a more in-depth article on Mitt’s reaction.
Any predictions on the outcome of tomorrow’s Primary?
