2. I thought he would chicken out anyway.
He's a coward and a bully who can't take it when another man looks him straight in the eye.

3. It's a win/win for Obama
Since McKane has stated he's going to bring it up, it'll just look like more smear from him in order to avoid the issues. If he doesn't bring it up, he looks like a weasel to his supporters. Yet another corner he's painted himself into.

6. Really John, go ahead, take a shot at it. I insist.
He'd be a completely idiot for doing it. People want to know how you're going to help fix this FUBAR economy we have here.

7. The perfect Obama response to McCain talking about Ayers
"The Dow Jones finished today down 733 points. It has lost more than 2,200 points since the start of this year. And you want to speak about William Ayers? How about you talk about the economy, John?

8. Yeah McBush, bring up Ayers and Acorn and everything except
the cratering Bush economy which you helped create.

All Obama has to do is remain calm and presidential and hammer home the economy.

Tonight Obama wins the vast majority of independents and the election!:toast:

11. Meanwhile...
McCain HQ...

Everyone stands around looking in horror at the CNN electoral map change that shows Obama now leads McCain in Virgina by 10 whole points.

Karl Rove: "Oh dear god! (Karl runs out of the room heading for the roof.)

John McCain: "Oh crap! Not again! Someone go stop Karl from trying to jump off the roof... again!" (Todd Palin runs after Karl.)

Sara Palin: "Now what do we do?" (Cindy McCain rolls her eyes as she shakes her head)

No one speaks as they just watch their hopes fade into thin air...

Stay tuned for more on: 'How To Lose An Election with John McCain'

10. Obama has McCain's prick in a vise on this issue.
People simply won't give a shit about Bill Ayers and what he did 40 years ago; not when the economy is tanking - and when times are tough, people vote their pocketbooks and kick the incumbent/lame duck President's party out.

If McCain goes ahead with this - he loses the Independent voters.
If McCain does not carry through - he loses his base.
Either way, Obama has him by the balls.

12. And if you want to include healthcare, the US was just ranked #29 for infant mortality
meaning countries with socialized medicine are doing better than we are... Yup, things are just great.
