The answer is this. The McCain campaign is tanking in every poll, including the Ramussan poll. The McCain campaign cannot discuss the economy because McCain is equated to W on that issue. So, the McCain campaign must attack Obama and make people think he is a muslim terrorist, which is the point of the attacks no mater what the McCain campaign or anyone else may say to the contrary.

I wish they would talk about the economy and the disaster it would be if Obama is allowed to raise taxes on businesses during a recession. I don't think anyone cares that much about Obama and his weird associates, they want to hear a plan. In the absence of McCain presenting one, they are willing to follow the pied piper to the depths of a full-scale old-style depression.
Although, they do have a point with Ayers. I mean, it's no different than if McCain was palling around with Terry Nichols. Obama KNEW that Ayers had been a terrorist before he associated with him. Obama announced his first candidacy from Ayers home, they shared the same stage in 96, and they served on several small (4 member) boards together. He's not a stranger at all. If the same revelation came to light about McCain hanging out with the guys from the My Lai Massacre, he'd never be forgiven, but because we're talking about "The Messiah" it's all okay. Saying that Ayers committed crimes when Obama was 9 is a CONDEMNATION of Obama, not a valid excuse. Tim McVeigh bombed the Murrah building when I was 15, so if he were alive and I associated with him while running for president, that should be a condemnation of me, not an excuse because I was 15.
