"McCain: Look, we all don’t like negative ads. I thought the ads we put up were an attempt to be humorous — and I thought they were very funny — and also differentiate between Sen. Obama. I think that the tone of this campaign is very rough, I think we all agree.

What would help, if Sen. Obama had agreed with what I wanted to do – that’s come to town hall meetings together, so that we can face the American people. [Unintelligible] from the town hall meetings. That’s where we learn the hopes and dreams and aspirations and concerns of Americans who are hurting right now…[If we would] sit on the stage together, it changes the whole atmosphere"

Excellent logic! "It's his fault that I'm running ugly ads. I'm doing it because he didn't want to play in my sandbox using my rules."

Very Presidential, right? It reminds me of my days teaching preschool.....
