[Wait, what are "527s?" An explanation here.]
Long story short: they’re the groups that can put out ads attacking the other candidate that don’t require the candidate the ads favor to say “I”m (x) & I approve this message.”
Here’s what’s airing “from McCain’s side” against Obama from the “Our Country Deserves Better” PAC. Put on your helmet, & watch out for that kitchen sink:
& now here a pair of ads airing in Ohio “from Obama’s side” against McCain, from a group called “Bring Ohio Back.” The approach here is, “hey, you drink beer - I drink beer. Here’s why McCain’s wrong, etc.”
What do you think?
Are the ads fair?
