Mark McKinnon, a top adviser in Republican Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign, said on National Public Radio's All Things Considered that he won't stay with the campaign if Sen. Barack Obama is the Democratic nominee and inevitably would be the target of attacks in the general election.
McKinnon, a campaign advertising specialist who helped get President Bush elected and re-elected, said that while he would support McCain "100%, ... I met Barack Obama, I read his book, I like him a great deal. I disagree with him on very fundamental issues. But I think, as I said, I think it would a great race for the country. I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama. I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."
