Liberal Advocacy Groups Take Aim at McCain

The Washington Post

A coalition of liberal advocacy groups pledged yesterday to mount a $20 million campaign aimed at Sen. John McCain and other Republicans, the latest sign that both parties have shifted their focus to the general election even before their nomination contests are settled.

Former Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards has yet to endorse Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, but in announcing the new effort to link McCain to the war in Iraq and to the faltering economy, he made it clear that he is looking beyond his party's nomination fight.

"We want to make sure the American people know they have a very clear choice in this election," he said. "It's between ending the Iraq war and focusing on the economic needs of our country, and Senator McCain, the Republican nominee who wants to continue the war and continue the incredibly failed policies of George Bush."
