Sen. John McCain has denounced the people behind the telephone push polls in New Hampshire, according to campaign spokesman Barry Flynn.
McCain called the practice “repugnant and despicable” and said it has no place in New Hampshire politics. The push poll reportedly denigrated Mitt Romney’s religion and military service.
“I am outraged by the cowardly telephone calls that hide behind my name in an effort to disparage one candidate and advance the candidacy of another. I was a target of these same tactics in South Carolina in 2000 and believe the American people deserve better from those who seek the high office of the presidency,” McCain said.
