GOP presidential contender John McCainsays he can't control every attack ad aimed at Democrat Barack Obama and fully expects he'll face a similar barrage, sounding the bell for a raucous general election brawl.
"I can't be a referee of every spot run on television," McCain told the Herald in an exclusive interview. "I admire Sen. Obama and his accomplishments, but we all know there are groups who want to attack me."
The Arizona senator's hands-off posture on attack ads by now-infamous tax-free and unaccountable political groups called 527s marks a softening of his view on the negative campaign tactic -- and opens the door to a no-holds-barred five-month scramble.
This is bull. He should be able to stop them, but won't.
What does this say about a possible commander and chief? He can't control outside groups from attacking? If outside groups don't respect him, how can he demand respect from others once he is presiden?
As I said, truth is, he doesn't want them to stop. And they won't.
