Duking It Out Over DHL

Posted:

A couple of months ago, DHL announced it would be moving it's air freight business to UPS and mostly shuttering it's Wilmington facility. And since Wilmington is in Ohio, Ohio is a battleground state, and this is an election year, this has become a political football.

Here's Obama's attack:

And McCain's response:



Unfortunately the response message discipline has run amok at McCain HQ. And in this case the message (Obama is a tax raiser) has overridden any direct response that John McCain should have made to Obama's charges over DHL.


FactCheck.org does a much better job. And if McCain actually wants to, you know, kinda win this thing? He might want to run some response ads that actually respond.

Hat tip to RCP blog.
