That was Mark Salter, John McCain’s closest aide, addressing complaints from the Romney team that McCain and other candidates had targeted Romney for personal attacks in last night’s GOP debate here in Manchester. As Salter’s remark suggests, the touchiness on display at the debate was really on display afterward, when top campaign aides tried to put their spin on things. Now, the question is: Do the candidates engage in more of the same at tonight’s Fox News forum? Or do they try to dial it back a bit in hopes of appearing above that sort of thing? My story is here.
