Two GOP senators express displeasure in McCain/RNC robocalls
Two Republican senators facing re-election battles in states also seeing presdential campaign attention are speaking out against anti-Obama robocalls from McCain's campaign and the RNC.
Maine Sen. Susan Collins expressed her dispeasure first on Friday.
“They don’t serve John McCain well,” Collins told PolitickerME. “This kind of campaign call does not reflect the kind of leader that he is."
And today Coleman's campaign issued a blanket statement condemning negative ads and phone calls.
"I call on Al Franken, the DNC, the RNC, the DSCC, the NRSC and any other organization engaged in negative attacks on any candidate to bring them to an immediate end," Coleman said in the statement.
Asked if this included McCain's campaign, Coleman spokesman Luke Friedrich replied: "The senator is calling on everyone."
Coleman, who like nearly every other Republican running a competitve race has seen his poll standing slip in recent weeks, made a show of taking down his negative ads earlier this month.
Collins is thought to be in a stronger position, but she has gone to great lengths this year and in her political career to run "clean campaigns."
