[Gazizza] Quote-a-palooza: But instead, that candidate was Barack Obama, and so you have buried this story, and when the McCain campaign dared to call Raines an ”˜adviser’ to the Obama campaign””because that campaign had sought his advice””you actually let Obama’s people get away with accusing McCain of lying, merely because Raines wasn’t listed as an official adviser to the Obama campaign. You would never tolerate such weasely nit-picking from a Republican.
