Duking It Out Over DHL

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.
