Republican U.S. Senators Call for McCain to Pull "attack ads and phone calls"

Jeff Frederick's really gotta be loving this!

Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN), who called for pulling all of his negative advertising Oct. 10 (though the NRSC was running anti-Franken ads), has called now for all "attack ads and phones calls" to be pulled across the country, including robo-calls paid for by the Republican National Committee.
"It's time for all of these attacks to end," Coleman said, per a release...
[...]
Coleman is the latest Republican to put some distance between himself and the RNC's robo-calls, which invoke Obama's ties to 60s radical William Ayers...A spokesperson for [U.S. Senator from Maine Susan] Collins told the same publication, "These kind of tactics have no place in Maine politics. Sen. Collins urges the McCain campaign to stop these calls immediately."

Meanwhile, we're still holding our breaths for Jeff Frederick, Bob McDonnell, Bill Bolling, Jim Gilmore, Frank Wolf, Thelma Drake, Virgil Goode, etc. to condemn the McCain campaign's vicious, "Tour de Hate '08" campaign...

Coleman and Collins are probably seeing their internal poll numbers taking a beating as the McCain/Palin trainwreck pulls into the station. I bet that all internal Republican polling is showing a far worse performance than the public polls are showing.

they are jumping off of the mccain bandwagon that was. (Nichole - 10/18/2008 10:09:20 PM)

Keep waiting. Don't pass out though Lowell.

If Coleman really wants to distance himself from the McCain-Palin hatefest, it might have been a good idea to avoid appearing with Todd Palin at a rally where someone was holding a "Charles Manson Was a Community Organizer" sign. Sure Coleman didn't know the sign would be there, but he knew a Palin would be, and it's pretty obvious by now what goes on at Palin rallies.
