Doing Everything He Can
Posted by Matt Ortega on April 28, 2008 at 12:45 PM
John McCain was asked about the North Carolina GOP's racially divisive ad on the Today Show, to which he replied: "I have done everything that I can to repudiate and to see that this kind of campaigning does not continue."
McCain's idea of doing "everything"? Sending an e-mail to the state party's chair.
Chances are, however, John McCain didn't even send the e-mail himself. John McCain told Politico's Mike Allen that he doesn't use a PC or a Mac, and described himself as an "illiterate" when it comes to computers. See below at about 32 seconds in.
John McCain's idea of doing everything he can: asking the intern to send an e-mail.
Updated: MSNBC's First Read has more:
On whether he has the ability to stop the NC GOP from running an ad with clips of Wright, McCain once again said that he had done all he can do, although he did admit that he has not personally tried to contact the state party and he does not plan on punishing the party if they go through with plans to place the ad on TV.
A couple things:
First, if John McCain did not "personally" try to contact the state party, this means he wasn't the one who sent the e-mail to the state party chair after all.
Secondly, apparently doing "all you can do" does not include making any "personal" overtures.
