McCain's Chief of Staff Says Campaign Needs to Be More Honorable

Looks like Sen. McCain's staff are about to jump ship if Governor Palin does not clean up her act.

 

Mark Salter, McCain’s long-serving chief of staff, is understood to have told campaign insiders that he would prefer his boss, a former Vietnam prisoner of war, to suffer an “honourable defeat” rather than conduct a campaign that would be out of character – and likely to lose him the election.

Today in the New York Times, McCain’s top adviser Mark Salter directly insults the senator’s supporters:

 

“I think there have been quite a few reporters recently,” said Mr. McCain’s closest adviser, Mark Salter, “who have sort of implied, or made more than implications, that somehow we’re responsible for the occasional nut who shows up and yells something about Barack Obama.”

One senior McCain adviser said the worry isn't just that McCain may lose but also that, in defeat, the attacks on Obama could cause long-term damage to McCain's image.

Law, you are grasping at straws when the ECOMOMY is what is important to ALL "That includes you?".
