McCain, Gingrich Blast RNC

By Ed Brayton

And at least two prominent Republicans are blasting the RNC for it. John McCain did sohttp://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/12/16/gingrich-rips-rnc-for-its_n_151438.html on a Sunday news show:

"I think that the Obama campaign should and will give all information necessary," said the Arizona Republican. "You know, in all due respect to the Republican National Committee and anybody -- right now, I think we should try to be working constructively together, not only on an issue such as this, but on the economy stimulus package, reforms that are necessary."
