A McCain Contradiction?

By The Daily Dish

Aug 25 2008, 11:28 AM ET

A reader points out something that had occurred to me too:

So I was wondering when people were going to start to take notice of the brazen contradiction in the latest ads released by McCain re: Biden. Ad #1 says that Joe Biden was a harsh critic of Barack Obama during the primaries. Ad #2 says that the reason Hillary Clinton was not tapped was because she was a harsh critic of Barack Obama during the primaries. Um... HUH? Whatever works I guess.

A lot of the McCain hyper-activity at this points strikes me as trying to out-psyche and rattle the Obama campaign, rather than to make coherent points.
