Audacity of Truth
The gloves are off (MORE: REZKO VIDEO ADDED)
Marc Ambinder details a new ad the McCain campaign is getting ready to run against Obama that relates to his ties to convicted felon Tony Rezko, as well as a new ad done by a 527, which will air in Ohio and Michigan, that links Obama and Bill Ayers.
Here’s the 527 ad:
Team Obama is crying foul over the 527 ad, claiming that the 527 group is a “front group” for Mccain. They’re also not happy about the news of McCain’s upcoming Rezko ad (which I haven’t seen) but hey, they opened the door with the Jack Abramoff ad and the latest Obama ad which talks about McCain’s numerous houses.
Something tells me in a few days they’ll be wishing they’d kept that door bolted shut.

I’m continually amazed that Obama is not doing worse in the polls…which says a lot (of bad things) about my fellow Americans.
Fixed: Team Obama is crying like a 3 year old who lost its banky over the 527 ad
The thing is, camojack, so far it is really political junkies who are paying attention. The swing voters are starting to pay attention now, which is why Barry has been dropping. You are also getting some Dems who have lost that loving feeling, and are looking for substance switching to McCain.
The other thing is, politics are so polarized nowadays, that it is always going to be close.
Come November, I expect McCain to squeak one out.
As ugly as the campaign is about to get (Rezko v. Keating) (and I do wish both candidates spent more time on their own campaign than attacking the other one) I can’t help but think this is actually a good thing for the American people (when all is said and done).
Why?
Because these two candidates both claimed to be running on change: freedom from special interests, a movement towards “the center”, and an escape from negative campaigns. (The belief that it would last is more than a little naive) Still, maybe the electorate will wake up and realize that there are intrinsic problems in our political system. It’s going to take more than one election, or one candidate, to fix the basic corruption problems in Presidential politics.
Dems complaining about a 527. Priceless.
I’ve been expecting it to get ugly the past two weeks, as Obama stalls out and fails to gain ground. As his massive vulnerabilities becomes obvious, and his empty rhetoric fails to ring chimes and drive tingles up legs, his people are going to be driven to the realization that despite having the MSM in the tank for them, they are going to have to come out swinging, try to hurt McCain. Watch for immediately after the conventions, I expect Obama to get almost no bounce and then they’ll bring out the nukes.
Slinging mud is going to hurt Obama more than it will McCain, for two strong reasons: it negates his previous claim to be a “new” kind of politician, above the partisan fray, and he’s much more vulnerable given his lack of accomplishment, hard left background, and long term association with noxious characters.
So by all means get tought, Barry-Oh. It’s going to blow up in your face and you’ll end up making Wile E. Coyote look like a cross between James Bond and McGyver.
