According to the PD, John McCain never went negative.  Despite the fact that both CNN and MSNBC led their flagship broadcasts tonight with the words “4th straight negative ad” from John McCain.

And even when the PD itself scores the latest smear ad ZERO on a truthfulness scale, it still doesn’t warrant being called “negative”.  But they repeat the McCain smear in the article!

But lumping Obama with Spears and Hilton - two celebrities who have not exactly comported themselves in public in a Mother Teresa-like manner - seems like a dubious comparison.

McCain campaign manager Rick Davis said in a conference call with reporters Wednesday that he hadn’t done any polling on the public perception of Spears and Hilton, but said he is convinced that among “the top three international celebrities of the world, Britney and Paris come in second and third” to Obama.

By emphasizing Obama’s “celebrity status,” the McCain campaign is clearly trying to cash in on some national news media coverage in recent days that has suggested the Democratic candidate and his campaign operation have been presumptuous, arrogant and acting as if the election is already over. 

Seems dubious!  That’s all it is, really.  Only Barack Obama runs negative ads in Ohio.  Everybody knows that!
