Now, I'm not going to say that McCain didn't "mildly rebuke" his Party Leadership over the Blagojevich Scandal, but saying it was anything other than that is overboard.
You tell me. This is McCain's quote from this morning:
I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary. You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody -- right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary. And so, I don't know all the details of the relationship between President-elect Obama's campaign or his people and the governor of Illinois, but I have some confidence that all the information will come out. It always does, it seems to me.
Of course, I'm going to let the fact that he called it the Obama "Campaign" slide.
McCain came out and said, what is by any fair measure, a reasonable and fair statement. (One might even call it...mavericky). He doesn't see the need for the RNC to go after Obama on this. Let's all work together. The truth's coming out sooner or later, so relax.
Fair.
Fair.
It's not just Huffington Post, which has been overblowing a lot of stuff lately. Politico gets into the act as well. Even George Stephanopoulos had a better handle on it than HuffPo.
A "defense" of Obama it ain't.
A "defense" of Obama it ain't.
This is not to place blame on McCain. It's not his job to defend Obama in this, or any other matter. This is about the Media fanning the flames of somethin' that ain't really there...
