Will McCain play the "Rev Wright" card before the election?
Palin on Wright
Rick Davis on Wright
Will Reverened Wright feature in any McCain ads (Must be an official campaign ad) or by mentioned by McCain (simply answering a reporter's question about Rev Wright won't count) before the election?
In case you've been under a rock for the past year:
Rev Wright
Settlement details:
Ads: official campaign ads only ("I'm John McCain and I approved this message")
Speech or official remarks made by McCain only.. answering a question like "Why aren't you talking about Rev Wright" doesn't count. This must be an introduction of the Rev Wright issue back into the campaign.

So, as an Obama supporter, as stupid and low-brow as I think negative ads are, just based on the math and the facts, I kind of hope he does. Negative ads actually detract from what should be any candidates sole goal at this time: securing the independent voters in swing states. Negative ads only secure your base, which if you haven't done 2 weeks before the election, you can begin working on your concession speech.

They're not from McCain.
"Pennsylvania Republicans highlight Wright in last-minute ad"
from this article:
"The ad was paid for by the Republican Federal Committee of Pennsylvania and was not authorized by the McCain campaign."
and the settlement requirements of this question:
" Ads: official campaign ads only ("I'm John McCain and I approved this message") "
