The North Carolina Republican Party has decided to run the following ad against the wishes of the presumptive Republican Nominee, John McCain.

The ad connects Rev. Wright to Obama to a down-ticket race in NC.

McCain sent a letter of protest to the NC GOP, asking them to drop the ad:

This ad does not live up to the very high standards we should hold ourselves to in this campaign…We need to not engage in political tactics that only seek to divide the American people…Once again, it is imperative that you withdraw this offensive advertisement.

Yet, it seems they didn’t get the message because the ad is out there.
