Senator John McCain has asked the GOP in North Carolina not to run the political ad that brings up the controversial remarks of Rev. Wright. He said that he has emailed the party and asked them to pull the ad in North Carolina. The ad begins with Obama and Rev. Wright next to each other and then continues to play a clip of Wright's comments. The commenter at the end then says, "He's just too extreme for North Carolina". The North Carolina Republican party officials say that they will continue running the ad, despite McCain's requests. McCain stated, "I don't know why they do it. Obviously, I don't control them, but I'm making it very clear, as I have a couple of times in the past, that there's no place for that kind of campaigning, and the American people don't want it." Even though I am not a Republican and I am not going to vote for McCain, I like his views on this; it definitely makes me have some respect for him. Of course, I can't help but be skeptical of politicians; it is also possible that he just wants Obama to have a better chance of winning the Democratic nominee because McCain thinks that he can beat him easier than he can beat Hillary. Who knows. I think it is weird that the party is ignoring the requests of their nominee, and presidential hopeful. Either way, I do not think that the ad should run and I hope that it does not.
