Technically a "smear campaign" is when something untrue is said to discredit a candidate. The truth is Obama has the sleaziest Adams family like circle of friends of anyone ever seeking the presidency. The press won't talk about it so McCain will. As long as it gets out there.

It's not the least bit true. And if McCain starts this kind of cr*p, that will be an incredibly stupid thing to do.

McCain aide linked to Russian billionaire
That opposition, however, is being called into question by links that have been established in various reports between McCain's campaign manager, Rick Davis, and Ukrainian billionaire Oleg Deripaska, who is suspected of having ties to organized Russian crime.
Davis even arranged for McCain to meet Deripaska at a time when Davis' lobbying firm was working under contract with Ukrainian political leaders supported by Putin's regime in Moscow.
Moreover, Davis' decision to retain his position in his lobbying firm while serving as McCain's 2008 presidential campaign manager raises questions about McCain's sincerity in his self-avowed campaign to eliminate influence peddling from U.S
She didn't "nail" anybody. She blathered on about nothing. As usual.
At the beginning of the debate Sen. Biden was asked..
Ifill: The House of Representatives this week passed a bill, a big bailout bill -- or didn't pass it, I should say. The Senate decided to pass it, and the House is wrestling with it still tonight.
As America watches these things happen on Capitol Hill, Senator Biden, was this the worst of Washington or the best of Washington that we saw play out?
Biden: I think it's neither the best or worst of Washington, but it's evidence of the fact that the economic policies of the last eight years have been the worst economic policies we've ever had. As a consequence, you've seen what's happened on Wall Street.
If you need any more proof positive of how bad the economic theories have been, this excessive deregulation, the failure to oversee what was going on, letting Wall Street run wild, I don't think you needed any more evidence than what you see now....blaa, blaa, blaa....
(anyone still remember the original question at this point?)
Palin: Now, John McCain thankfully has been one representing reform. Two years ago, remember, it was John McCain who pushed so hard with the Fannie Mae (NYSE:FNM) and Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) reform measures. He sounded that warning bell.
People in the Senate with him, his colleagues, didn't want to listen to him and wouldn't go towards that reform that was needed then. I think that the alarm has been heard, though, and there will be that greater oversight, again thanks to John McCain's bipartisan efforts that he was so instrumental in bringing folks together over this past week, even suspending his own campaign to make sure he was putting excessive politics aside and putting the country first.
What Sen. Biden fails to mention is that the White House was pushing for GSE reform in 2003 and every year thereafter, but ran into stiff resistance by democrats that followed party lines closely and who were apparently not particularly concerned about “this excessive deregulation”. In 2006 McCain made an impassioned plea for support of S. 190 which he cosponsored with Hagel, Dole and Sanunu. It was opposed by the dems, including Sen. Obama. The same one who mocked Sen. McCain three days ago at one of his rallies-for-the-uninformed by saying “took him three tries to get it done” leaving out the part about how he and the other dems fought it tooth, nail and filibuster. Biden must have been watching those Palin interviews and thought he could get this one past her. But, she nailed him on his and Obama's bold faced lies and complete hippocracy!
Nice job Sarah!!!
As for the “ worst we've ever had” line, here's a little perspective.
• Carter: Interest rate, 21%. Inflation, 13.5%. Unemployment, 7%. The so-called “Misery Index,” which Carter used to great effect in his 1976 campaign to win election, 20.5%.
Wow, from February. That one really had wings and took off, didn't it?
