I’ve been to New Hampshire. It is a lovely place and I met many nice people there. But watching TV must be like walking through a minefield. Moveon.org is already running commercials there about the election in 2008.
Over the past several election cycles, Moveon.org has demonstrated a willingness to throw its weight around in the political process.
Today provides yet another example, as the influential liberal group is up with television commercials intended label Sen. John McCain — the leading Republican candidate for president in 2008 — as the leading supporter of sending more U.S. troops to Iraq.
In the ad, as images of McCain and President Bush flash across the screen, a narrator intones: “John McCain has done more than just embrace George Bush’s failed policy in Iraq. It’s actually his idea to escalate the war there.”
Jeez, govern already. Life isn’t all politics.
