Politicians and Political Bruisers

The New York Times reported in an article, McCain’s Advisers Once Made Ads That Drew His Ire, that Senator John McCain’s presidential ad team will include "political bruisers." Some of whom he had criticized as stepping over the line in the past. In the blog John McCain Hires Ad makers, http://prmachine.blogspot.com/ they discuss McCain's new plans for his upcoming campaign. After losing to President Bush in the primaries, John McCain has truly taken the old saying, "if you can't beat them, join them" seriously. He is planning on using negative ad campaigns about his opponent to hopefully allow him to win the primary election. This is quite interesting because he was adamant about how unethical and wrong the Bush campaign was during their race. McCain will also have an active blog to refute any misinformation as well as a public relations team to relentlessly produce stories that cast doubt about his opponent.
