That precise phrase on the clip is something they've avoided even addressing. They focused on using the Obama segment of the interview and used it to reiterate the overall McCain campaign stand on more scrutiny of his associations, beliefs, etc. I don't see it as an attack ad though, if left as is. Simple clips of things knowingly said to a TV camera of their own volition. Add an "I am El Tinklenberg and I approve of this Message" and I don't know... does that change things? Doesn't sound like where El wants to go with his campaign. I do admit it would directly assault her campaign’s spin on it.
