I dont think it is that Ayers was not working. I think it was more a question of timing. With McCain and Sarah on the same stage. Bringing up Ayers so soon after the debate might look a little desperate.
The genie is already out of the bottle. McCain had a good night last night. It was time to build on our momentum. Bringing up Ayers would make it seem like the debate never happened.
Agree. Talking about Ayers/ACORN etc. IS working!! But there’s still 2.5 weeks AFTER the last debate next week to hit that message hard every day until the election.
Obama IS expecting McCain to run with it at debates — yes, thow the Zero off his game — let him wait — LATE October surprise — I suspect even more than we already know will come to the forefront within a week or so of the election.
I do think, though, that Sarah should be in the audience, front and center, at the last debate. That would be terrific and would energize McCain.
