What Republicans Think of John McCain

The string of John McCain's negative ads on Barack Obama have been catalogued exhaustively here and elsewhere, I know. The reason I've been focusing on them has been to show the desperation inherent in these mostly dishonest, and wildly scatter-shot attacks.

The most recent line of attack is to show comments made by running mate Joe Biden and former competitor, Hillary Clinton. As everyone knows, primary fights get muddy, and it isn't unusual for former competitors to join forces for the general election. In each of those cases, there are things that were said in the heat of battle that must be tempered or disavowed. Anyone remember "voodoo economics" from George H.W. Bush to Ronald Reagan?

McCain faces a bruising ad war if he continues this tack. As this video shows, many Republicans have had an unkind word or two to say about McCain, and not always in the context of a primary fight. Take a look.
