Ignoring attacks, Politico's Smith claimed "well-funded attacks from independent groups on behalf of John McCain" have "so far [been] absent"

SUMMARY: In a blog post, the Politico's Ben Smith asserted that "well-funded attacks from independent groups on behalf of [Sen.] John McCain" have "so far [been] absent" during the presidential campaign. However, the Vets for Freedom political action committee has run television ads attacking Sen. Barack Obama over issues related to the Iraq war, and independent group Freedom's Watch has put out ads attacking Obama over tax and health care issues.
