McClatchy: McCain/Palin are now lying in their immigration ads too

At what point will the media do the larger process story about what this decision to outright lie his way in to the White House says about John McCain? At this point, there's a larger story here, folks, than just what the lie of the day is. McCain has affirmatively decided to outright deceive the voters, day in and day out, ever since he picked Palin. That's new. But it's also a sign of something else, something larger. Is it that McCain has given up on being a maverick, because mavericks don't win? Is it that McCain's advantced age has made him less willing and able to run his own McCain, thus letting Karl Rove's staff run the show? Something is going on when a guy who claims he's about clean government adopts a strategy of blatant lies. It's a larger story. I'm waiting for the media to get the backbone to finally write that story.
