Dear James, Daniel and Emily
So this week the McCain campaign went nuclear in its attempts to stay viable and competitive. From Palin going into full blown attack mode with her comments about Obama hanging around with terrorists and anti-American preachers. And McCain backs her up every time someone questions him. It really is disgusting, this type of campaign is one of the reasons I left the Republican Party back in 1992.
So the Obama campaign first threw the Keating story back into public view as a kind of he said she said counter fire exercise. And you knew they had been saving it all this time in case the McCain camp went this direction. Then Obama himself went high road with comments about how crazy it is to be focusing on stuff like this at a time when the economy is imploding. And I am sure he will take the same tack tonight in the debate.
The best counter I saw last night was from Keith Olberman on MSNBC. When he pointed out that Palin’s husband is a member of the Alaska Independence Party, whose ideology is no less reprehensible than anything Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers have ever espoused. And that she engaged in a laying on of hands in her church from a minister who has chased women out of his town claiming they were witches. It really is a case of the pot trying to call the stainless steel cook ware black.
