Erik, those articles are negligable, they even say McCain had nothing to do with what those other guys were doing. You can pick out 100s of little things that the democrats can think of and it won’t compare to what Obama is associated with. I’ve haven’t heard one thing on all the major news stations like Fox or CNN, CNBC about McCain doing anything like that.
Those articles are not negligible. They clearly show that McCain has surrounded himself with lobbyists & fundraisers with very shady backgrounds. Almost all of McCain’s advisors are former lobbyists. Who’s going to run McCain’s White House if he’s elected? Those same lobbyists & fundraisers. Also, McCain keeps saying that Obama needs to fully explain his relationship to Ayers besides serving on boards w/ him. Well, don’t you think the McCain team has checked into everything possible searching for something more? Don’t you think the Clintons also searched for anything possible to bring Obama down? If there were more to it we would know. It’s a non story as far as I’m concerned, and most Americans, judging by the latest polls about it (Fox Poll: Nearly Two-Thirds Say Ayers Makes No Difference To Their Vote – http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/101008_foxpoll.pdf). Seems to only resonate to the far-right. It’s just another tactic to avoid talking about the real issues our country faces.
