North Carolina Republicans pull anti-Obama ad
Reuters
North Carolina's Republican Party on Thursday withdrew an advertisement critical of Democrat Barack Obama's links to a controversial preacher, Republican John McCain's campaign said.
McCain senior adviser Charlie Black said he had been informed by the Republican National Committee's representative in North Carolina, that the state party had agreed to withdraw the ad.
McCain, the Republicans' presumptive presidential nominee, had appealed to the state party to withdraw the ad, saying he wanted to run a respectful campaign.
Obama has come under fire for attending a Chicago church for two decades where the Rev. Jeremiah Wright was pastor. Wright has drawn criticism for statements including saying the U.S. government spread the AIDS virus to black Americans. He has since retired.
The 30-second ad in question attacked Democratic North Carolina gubernatorial candidates Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore for their endorsements of Obama, referring to the Illinois senator's "judgment" in supporting Wright and calling him "too extreme for North Carolina."
The whole point of this ad was to help Clinton. They desperately want her to be the nominee.
Awwww......just think of all that money they wasted
Money that can't be used for GOTV or ads that will sell their candidates. Stinks that Linda Daves has such poor leadership skills. Well.....stinks for them. Not us.
Robin Hayes lied. Nobody died, but thousands of folks lost their jobs.

It may still be live
Per Under the Dome ... but they may have to pull it if enough stations don't air it.
did I hear WRAL say they refuse to run this?
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.
Progressive Discussions
look at Liddy's response
Liddy Dole - this is her response:
Also, WRAL said it wouldn't run it:

Dole considers the NC Republic Party a "third party"?
Well so do I, it just surprises me that she'd say it.
Progressive Democrats of North Carolina
Progressives are the true conservatives.
didn't want to get involved?
Seems like the only time Liddy wants to get involved in North Carolina business is when she stands to personally gain from it.
WRAL just called her adopted party racist and she doesn't haven't thing to say about it? And this is on the same day she voted to make it easier for employers to discriminate against their workers? At least her predecessor was willing to admit his prejudices.
Though, in her defense, I guess the world is changing a bit more quickly than she might have anticipated.
