Nor has the help all been one way. During the last debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, Senator McCain mentioned that Senator Obama's political campaign began in Bill Ayers' home. Obama immediately denied it and McCain had no real follow-up.

It was not this year's political campaign that Obama began in Bill Ayers' home but an earlier campaign for the Illinois state legislature. Barack Obama can match Bill Clinton in slickness at parsing words to evade accusations.

I thought McCain had meant the START of Obama's career was in Bill Ayers living room. He meant the start of Obama's presidential camgaign? Most unfortunate.

I have thought many times, that Obama is as good as Clinton at parsing words to evade accusations. Amazing. It seems that most Democrat politicians have this ability. It's part of their training.

I think McCain meant the start of BO's political career and Dr. Sowell was just criticizing McCain for not coming back and making that clear when BO denied it. McCain has not been aggressive enough in such matters. I could be wrong but that's my take on what Dr. Sowell meant.
