Barack Obama's newest surrogate strikes again
John McCain is doing a bang-up job in his new starring role as the featured celebrity in Barack Obama's new targeted advertising campaign. Yesterday it was in a radio ad targeting Ohio, and today it's in a new ad in my home state of Nevada focused on John McCain's support for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste dump.
Yucca Mountain is one of those local political issues that should sink McCain's campaign here in Nevada. There's really been no escaping it for him. Just watch the local TV coverage from his most recent visit here on June 25:
When you combine McCain's support for dumping nuclear waste in Nevada with his opposition to trucking it through Arizona and his support for fast-tracking 45 new nuclear plants nationwide, winning this state should be damn near impossible for him.
