The McCain campaign may be going off a cliff. Sarah Palin hit a new low -- and that's hard for her -- when she smeared Barack Obama with his association with '60s radical Bill Ayers, by claiming that Obama sees America "as imperfect enough to work with a domestic terrorist who tried to kill his own people" -- as though Obama's concerns about American society led him to ally himself with terrorism. Break it down, folks, and that's what she's saying. Palin's got some syntax problems when she talks, so maybe she didn't mean it that way -- but I think she did. She's found slightly different ways to say the same thing two days in a row, even after multiple news organizations criticized her take on the Obama-Ayers connection.
There seems to be no bottom for the McCain campaign. The candidate himself joined his running mate in the gutter Monday, with a stream-of-consciousness rant against Obama in New Mexico . . . .
Obama is fighting back with some old news for McCain: His involvement as one of the "Keating Five" in the savings and loan deregulation scandal of the late 1980s. The campaign released this 13-minute video, "Keating Economics," laying out McCain's role in deflecting government pressure on campaign contributor Charles Keating. The congressional investigation into the actions of the Keating Five found no evidence of illegal wrongdoing, but criticized McCain for "exercising poor judgment." At the time, McCain got political credit for admitting what he did was wrong, but now his campaign is calling the investigation "a political smear." . . .
