Democrats To Raise McCain Associations To Keating, Others (Singlaub)

Democratic surrogates say they've been given the go-ahead from the Obama campaign to mention John McCain's associations with S&L kingpin Charles Keating and other historically tarnished creatures when asked about Obama's connection to ex-Weatherman William Ayers.

A senior Democrat who has had contact with Obama's high command points to Democratic strategist Paul Begala's comments on this morning's Meet the Press.

Begala noted that McCain once "sat on the board of a very right wing organization," the U.S. Council for World Freedom, led by a retired Army Maj. General named John Singlaub. The Anti-Defamation League allegedly called the CWF's parent organization a gathering place for racists and anti-Semites.

I see on another thread that McCain has finally mentioned Ayers. I hope it's not too little, too late, but from the looks of things at realclearpolitics and every poll I've seen, it's over.

Remember that the polls are put there to demoralize the McCain voters to stay home. Don't buy it. We haven't voted yet.
