Mckinnon for Obama?

In an interesting turn of events, Senator McCain's senior media adviser (the adman), Mark Mckinnon (who was President Bush's adman in 2000/04) has stepped down as McCain's advisor because, get this, he "doesn't want to campaign against Barack Obama." As a political guy who actually knows who Mark Mckinnon is I must say I'm completely shocked by his apparent desire for, as he put it, "change."

Mckinnon still plans on being a "cheerleader" for McCain, but he's not going to actively participate in any campaign strategy against Senator Obama. For what it's worth, I think Mckinnon is one of the best in the business when it comes to persuading voters through ads and crafting a campaign vision, so this is an incredible blow to the McCain campaign.

I'm quite stunned, what do you think?
