And Obama is guilty of nothing but sitting on boards with a guy who was making the most out of his second chance. Really is this the best dirt the Rove clones can find?

McCain was admonished by the ethics commitee for inappropriately allowing Keating to donate to his campaign. Just as Palin was held to have abused the power of her office and committed ethical violations in Troopergate.

Looks like the barrage of anti-McCain agitprop is rising to a high level of whining. Back in '80, Ronald Reagan beat Carter by nearly 10 points, 51 percent to 41 percent. In a Gallup Poll released days before the election on Oct. 27, it was Carter who led Reagan 45 percent to 42 percent.

Democrats are famous for counting their chickens before they hatch. I was in that campaign [on John Anderson's national staff] and remember how totally flabbergasted the Dems were when they snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Keating was guilty of economic crimes. Ayers was guilty of treason, but got off on a technicality, as even he admits in his autobio which taunts flaky libtards for letting him loose!

The worst part of all of this for the McCain camp is that its too late to change its strategy or VP pick. They and their surrogates will be forced to pretend that Palin would be splendid in the presidency, LOL, and that the most important problem facing us in this campaign is Obama's relationship with Ayers. Obama explained the relationship, but they are still not satisfied.

Let McCain explain his relationship with Charles Keating. After he's done the Dems should state that there is still a concern that he is hiding something from the American people, and that his appearance on Gordon Liddy's radio show is equally troubling.

While on the show, McCain told Liddy that he was proud of him and what he had done. Proud of a convicted felon? Proud of a lawbreaker that has admitted he was willing to kill an American journalist just to hush him up? Proud of this Watergate figure who never showed any remorse? McCain should explain his statement to Liddy- as the American people need to know why he's proud of such a subversive figure. Would he make Liddy head of the CIA?
