Its a clear sign that the McCain campaign is falling apart. They are desperate and they know the economic climate favors Obama. So the only thing they have left to do is bring up crap like this thats already been talked about. But its not going to work

Does she really want to be the one throwing out commentary about someone's preacher? I mean really- did she have a snake wrapped around her neck while she was spewing this stuff? What's that saying about people in glass houses????

"From what I hear, The campaign's plans are to put John McCain back in the seat of his A-4 Skyhawk bomber and drop bomb after bomb on Obama to try to convince voters he is unfit to lead. I think that formula will lead to failure, just as Hillary Clinton's strategy failed.
Personal attacks won't work this late in the campaign and may backfire on McCain." - Ed Rollins, Republican strategist

The thing is. Rev Wright is old news. EVERYONE knows about that by now and quite frankly, they dont care. It also makes the McCain campaign look bad. First of all if you are going to bring up this crap, have your suragates do it. The candidates should never do it. It doesnt look very presidential. But secondly, more bad news just came out today about the economy and talking about Rev Wright is not going to do the McCain camp any good. Instead its going to make voters angry because they are more concerned about bringing another candidate down instead of focusing on the issues that matter to the people in this economic crisis.

All these relationships highlight his horrible judgement.

These are the people he has surrounded himself with for years - until he was forced to jettison them for political expediency.

Wright, Ayers, Pfleger, Farakhan, Meeks, Khalidi. They are fair play.

The big racist Rev Wright should be brought up. He was Obama's mentor for 20 years. For 20 years Obama listened to racist hate and still aproved of the man. Calls into question Obama's judgement.

HA HA HA and lets not talk about all the people McCain has surrounded himself. The person that planned the Watergate break in held a fund raiser for John McCain. The list goes on for McCain. You dont want to go there.

What happened to Palin's message of change, and chastizing Biden during the debate for looking back?

About damn time. I say, bring up every one of his questionable relationships, it's a very long list from a man with a very thin resume.
