Despite saying he’ll ‘do everything’ in his power to stop NC ad, McCain hasn’t spoken to NC GOP head.

On the campaign trail yesterday, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said he’ll “do everything” in his power and bring “every pressure to bear” in order to stop the North Carolina Republican party from running an attack ad featuring Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. But the chairwoman of the North Carolina GOP, Linda Daves, told NPR yesterday that McCain has not done all he could. According to Daves, she hasn’t even spoken to McCain:

BLOCK: Linda Daves, have you had a conversation with John McCain about this?

DAVES: Oh, no, I have not. I have spoken with his campaign staff, however. And — but I did get an e-mail letter from them on his behalf.
