The Unserious Candidate

Ross points out the stupidity of McCain's Ayers attack:

At this point, the McCain camp seems to be taking its cues more from the liberal caricature of past conservative campaigns - that they've all been fundamentally unserious exercises in culture-war button-pushing - than from the campaigns themselves. It's as though they're being paid under the table by Thomas Frank to goose his book sales and vindicate his thesis.

Maybe that's why they haven't put any money behind the ads.
