Note: McCain's New Ads Paid For By General Election Money

03 Sep 2008 05:42 pm

Several readers noticed the disclaimer at the end of John McCain's new ad, "Alaska Maverick."
They're paid for from his general election account. That's the law; from September 1 onward, those ads can't come from the primary kitty. McCain '08 becomes McCain-Palin '08 on Friday, but the ad -- which will air on national cable -- CNN and Fox -- tonight -- comes from the $84 million grant McCain will receive from the government.
