His people are already distancing themselves in July for pity’s sake….
Marc Ambinder (July 30) – Weaver, McCain’s Former Strategist, Calls “Celeb” Ad “Childish” :
30 Jul 2008 04:10 pm
John Weaver, for years one of John McCain’s closest friends and confidants, has been in exile since his resignation from McCain’s presidential campaign last year. With the exception of an occasional interview, he has, by his own account, bit his tongue as McCain’s campaign has adopted a strategy that Weaver believes ‘diminishes John McCain.’
With the release today of a McCain television ad blasting Obama for celebrity preening while gas prices rise, and a memo that accuses Obama of putting his own aggrandizement before the country, Weaver said he’s had ‘enough.’
The ad’s premise, he said, is ‘childish.’”
