Let's Talk About Cindy

The spouses and kids were supposed to be off limits. Also the spouse is not usually used by the campaign for political attacks. Recently Cindy criticized Obama for voting against the same bill John voted against in a harsh emotionally based attack. John also tried to tie Michelle to Mrs. Ayers since they both were hired by the same huge law firm 3 years appart.

Did we forget the Keating 5

I believe the Keating 5 should not be off limits during this election. It shows the criminal mindedness of McCain for profit and also his poor judgement. He needs to get nailed on this this guy seems like a crook.

anyone stumbled over this??

I'm in the middle of digging around and verifying some sources for what I have read here: http://www.realchange.org/mccain.htm .
But if only half of this is true then I think the heads of Obamas campaign should get their heads around some of the mentioned issues in the article..I guess there will be quite a few points to hit McCain with.

PS: a nice little quote:

Spoof on Mastercard ads

Run an ad "Price for taxpayers to bail out Charles Keating's failed Savings and Loan, in the Billions, Price of the presidency - PRICELESS - for everything ethically questionable, look to the Republicans." - do NOT run advertisement from the democrats, but from Moveon or other policital group. It is funny and will stick in people's minds. :D

adress bill ayers

the whole thing with bill ayers is going to be a problem when the debates start up. obama should adress the issue soon so mccain cant make as big of a deal with it later. its going to be a problem with the red swing states. this isnt something that can be compared to keating, it cant be seen as parallel. mccain has alot of judgement issuses and this is one of them.

Why not highlight John McCain's scandal?

If Obama wants to find a scandal to bring up to deny McCain's newfound "change" message (which is one of the reasons he picked Palin) all he needs to do is point out McCain's involvement in the Keating 5 scandal in the 80's

Remind EVERYONE that John McCain was one of the "Keating 5"

I don't know why everyone seems to have forgotten about this, but John McCain was one of the "Keating 5" involved in the huge Savings & Loan scandal. Although cleared of wrong-doing (although was most likely due to cronyism and not actually being innocent), McCain was officially criticized by at Senate Ethics Committee for having exercised "poor judgment".
