“With his campaign manager having received lobbying money from Freddie Mac for the past 2 years for doing NOTHING. What was the money for, access?

I am surprised that Dems havenâ€™t been trumpeting that yet. They should. ”

Absolutely. It needs to be in ads, stump speeches, and possibly brought up at the debate. If the head of Obama’s campaign manager had been receiving payoffs from Freddie Mac for the last two years, McCain would publicly demand that he step down from his position day after day after day…

Other campaigns have dove deep into the mud before, but were never this upfront about what they were doing. It’s just another example of Maverick McCain telling Washington the ugly truths that no one else will speak.

Or maybe it’s just a victimization plea, to make them feel better about the fact that they’re continuing to destroy any integrity left in their campaign. We didn’t want it to be this way! We had no choice!

Anybody who claims that the mudslinging between McCain and Obama is somehow equivalent is being dishonest.

It’s like saying that Joe Biden and Sarah Palin gave equivalent performances at the VP debate.

McCain’s campaign is all about swift-boating-style, character assassination.

Finally, the Obama campaign mentions a real scandal, the Keating 5, with real consequences. Anybody can Google the phrase to find out exactly what happened. And yet, because of McCain’s proud leadership of ‘deregulation,’ we see another financial fiasco. With his campaign manager having received lobbying money from Freddie Mac for the past 2 years for doing NOTHING. What was the money for, access?

I am surprised that Dems haven’t been trumpeting that yet. They should.

The McCain campaign is so embarrassing, he makes Bush look presidential.

How pathetic is that?

Um, what happened to a respectable campaign?

Maybe we should just let chipper Sarah Palin and fumin’ Joe Biden battle it out in a cage match?

Why on earth are they forcasting this move? Is there some advantage that I can’t see? It seems to me that by telling the world you want to “turn the page from the economy” to focus on character (Obama’s), that you’re showing your disengenuous hand. Isn’t it giving the Obama camp an enormous amount of amunition? McCain admits that he can’t win on the economy – and he’s resorting to mud-slinging. Seriously, are these guys tactical bumblers, or am I missing something?

Now McCain will sink even lower. He stepped into a mess of his own doing. It is his ACTIONS that will be on display, not the action of acquaintences. Enjoy the rebuttal Senator McCain, you are about to be in a fight holding a knife, while your opponent you started a fight with has brought a gun.

Yeah… the economy is the number one issue on people’s minds, so instead of taking maverick positions that people can identify with, you decide to attack your opponent’s character. Brilliant.
