New DNC Web Video Shows McCain Blasting McCain's New Campaign Tactics

The Democratic National Committee today released a new web video showing John McCain denouncing his own campaign tactics. The new ad, called "Negative Attack Ads," follows reports that McCain's campaign is preparing a last ditch barrage of desperate negative attack ads aimed at "turning the page" from the economic crisis facing working families. Recent reports show that McCain has already shifted virtually 100 percent of its ads to negative attack ads.

The video pits a montage of some of McCain's most vile attack ads against his own comments during the 2000 campaign, in which he told reporters on the Straight Talk Express that "if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future."

MCCAIN: "Uh, I, I just have to rely on the good judgment of the voters not to buy into these negative attack ads.
