McCain Uses Infomercial Stars to Poke Fun at Rival

PHOENIX - Matthew Lesko and Miss Cleo make appearances in John McCain's latest Web video poking fun at his Republican challenger's role as an infomercial pitchman.

McCain's re-election campaign on Tuesday released the video featuring half-famous stars from late-night television.

The video also recalls a handful of gaffes that have put J.D. Hayworth in an uncomfortable spotlight.

The ad follows the revelation last week that Hayworth filmed a 2007 infomercial pitching the services of a Florida company accused of taking advantage of its customers.

Hayworth says he didn't properly research the company. His campaign on Monday released three videos of Hayworth addressing McCain criticisms.

Hayworth spokesman Mark Sanders says the video is "unbecoming of a senator." What do you think? Is the ad crossing the line? Answer our poll!
