A McCain campaign spokeswoman said in a statement (As soon as you hear those words you know a few lies will follow ;-) Let?s count them shall we...) the mailing mistakes are "certainly not intentional" (#1) but she wouldn't answer questions (Typical). The statement also said the mailing went to "potential supporters across the spectrum. (#2)"Mark Jefferson, executive director of the state GOP, said the mailing is not intended to keep people from the polls (#3) and that the wrong absentee ballot applications resulted from incorrect information in databases used for the mailing (#4). "You do the best with the lists you have, and no list is perfect (#5). Jefferson said "There is certainly no type of suppression effort going on (#6)".
Spinnacre,Your claim is that " . . . perhaps what REALLY happened was that it wasn't the RNC that sent the mailer?"Allow me to quote to you the sixth paragraph in the article TO WHICH YOU ARE POSTING A COMMENT: "A McCain campaign spokeswoman said in a statement the mailing mistakes are "certainly not intentional" but she wouldn't answer questions. The statement also said the mailing went to "potential supporters across the spectrum.""Did this anonymous McCain campaign sposkeswoman completely denounce the mailer as the work of those vile liberals? Did she respond with outrage that her campaign was being accused of sending out such a misleading mailer in the first place? NO she simply said the mailing mistakes were "certainly not intentional". In doing so, her claim was that the mailer was IN FACT a product of the McCain campaign.Perhaps YOU should try using YOUR brain, or at least READING THE ARTICLE to which you are posting your comment BEFORE you begin speculating as to some nefarious conspiracy to destroy your perception that John McCain could never be involved in attempting to disenfranchise democratic voters.

I would be pretty dubious of anything the GOP would send me in the mail.
