Great inside baseball story in Politico today.
Basically says that a “Swiftboat” campaign against Obama, independent of the McCain camp or the RNC and financed by shadowy billionaires, never materialized because of McCain’s erratic performances and the fact that they didn’t trust him. Seems they thought McCain might still have enough decency and honor to publicly rebuke them if they ran those kinds of attack ads.
Plus the sinking stock market made them want to hold on to their money.
That says something about our political system. We have all these wealthy people willing sink to any depths for political gain. But this time, they just didn’t see enough margin in it. Ah well, there’s always 2012.
