Is McCain campaign illegally coordinating media strategy with outside groups?

[DogPoundPup]

It's illegal for federal campaigns to coordinate with outside groups. Looks like we're dealing with more illegality from the McCain campaign:

Politico has a story up showing the clearest indication yet that the McCain campaign is illegally coordinating television advertising with an outside group. The short-story is this: on July 2, the McCain campaign placed $1.5 million in advertising in the Virginia area. The next day -- July 3 -- the McCain campaign canceled that media buy. On the very same day -- July 3 -- the outside group made a large media buy in the same region, filling the gap created by the McCain campaign's cancellation.

What a coincidence...or not. Watch this video (provided @ Americablog link below) of McCain and his lap dog, Lindsey Graham, parrot the talking points of the same outside group, Vets for Freedom.
