At least that’s what he’s saying.
Looking to further discredit Obama, and attempt to increase a rift that’s being tenuously bridged by the Democratic Party between Obama’s supporters, and those who feel burned by Clinton’s not winning the party nomination- John McCain’s campaign has released a video criticizing Barack Obama for choosing Joe Biden as his VP rather than his closest competition for the nomination, Hillary Clinton.

The video states that Obama “passed over” Clinton for “speaking the truth” during the Primaries when she criticized him, saying Obama “didn’t like it”.
Whether or not Obama liked the criticisms, the two obviously went too far for too long during the Primaries, and as bitter as the battle got, with attacks getting personal from both sides, there really was no chance that Obama and Clinton would wind up on a ticket together, regardless of who was at the head.
It would be like McCain deciding on Ron Paul as his running mate. Same party, but would never work as a pair.

This was a very strange commercial from McCain. I don't think it was meant for the "average" voter. Rather, it's honing in on the Clinton loyalist. There's a ton of votes up for grabs out there that could go to either Obama or McCain. Some were voting for Clinton simply because she's a woman and some were voting Clinton simply because they like her husband and hoped for more of the same.
In either case, it isn't about being a Republican or Democrat. It's about loyalty to a name (brand) and I think McCain is correct in focusing on it in this commercial. Unfortunately, he's a little bumbling when it comes to explaining himself clearly.
