McCain pans N.C. GOP anti-Obama ad
Sen. John McCain asked the North Carolina Republican Party not to run a television ad that attacks Sen. Barack Obama, but state party leaders plan to show it anyway.The ad, which is scheduled to begin airing Monday, shows a photo of Obama with Rev. Jeremiah Wright alongside a clip of Wright's infamous "God Damn America" sermon. The voiceover says Obama is "too extreme for North Carolina."
Obama has denounced Wright's inflammatory comments.
North Carolina Republican Party Chairwoman Linda Daves appears at the end of the ad, saying the ad is meant to target Democratic gubernatorial candidates Richard Moore and Bev Perdue, who have endorsed Obama.
The North Carolina primary election is May 6.
Campaigning in Kentucky, McCain told reporters he was e-mailing the N.C. GOP to ask them to stop running the ad.
"There's no place for that kind of campaigning, and the American people don't want it," McCain said.
