Mesilla, N.M. - With just nine days left in the race, the McCain campaign plans to step up its attacks against Barack Obama for his connection to Tony Rezko, the convicted developer who was an early patron of the Illinois senator.

A senior campaign official said the campaign will begin sending out direct mail, running television ads and making robo calls about Obama's Hyde Park home purchase, which took place the same day Rezko bought the vacant lot next door and later sold a portion of that land to Obama. Obama later conceded was "a lapse in judgement" on his part.

It won’t work.

wrong thug... rev wright wins it for ya.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

He would be far better off to go after Jermiah Wright.But he won’t. Too bad John, it may cost you the election.

[jwalsh07]

About freakin time. It’s not about one of Obamas buds, it’s about all of his buds.

[Texas Eagle]

McCain should promise to spread Tony Rezko’s wealth around.

[Diogenesis]

About time.

[9YearLurker]

I agree. He’s got to stay on message of a tax-raising Marxist being the last thing our economy or freedoms need.

[scooby321]

Rev Wright and Obama tape using the same speech. Loop it and loop it. Then hit the 401 Tax.

Beating a dead horse that the democraps don’t even care about.

How about mentioning that voting for democrats will kill 401(k) plans?? Hello???

Is the republican party even trying in this campaign?
Passivity doesn’t work.

[TornadoAlley3]

no, he needs to put all associations in one ad, or Rev Wright by himself.

[John W]

That makes me feel pretty good about the strategy. Of course, it could be a feint. You just can’t be sure, can you?

[AmericaUnited]

McCain should compare Olmert’s hosue deal and Barry’s, noting the two are the same and one player is stepping down from office and most likely getting prosecuted ans the other is given a pass.

[jwalsh07]

Yeah, the 401K thing has legs. I mentioned it to a couple of guys at the golf course today and they went bezerko. And one was an Obama supporter. Why Steve Schmidt and McCain don't run with that is one of lifes enduring mysteries.

Same for Wright and Khalid.

[unspun]

That better not be the main message, “bought a home and sold the vacant lot to his realtor friend as a pass-through sale.”

I did that exact same thing in a Chicago suburb, in 1993. Not much nefarious activity, there.

[AmericaUnited]

Beating a dead horse that the democraps don’t even care about.

Yeas so, it's those in the middle that are the target.

[Tarpon]

Two votes for the hate monger Rev Wright ...

[Atlas Sneezed]

Rezko and the land deal needs too much ‘splainin’ to be of any benefit.

“Damn America” speaks for itself.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

McCain really needs to attack Obama for being a socialist who will really turn the U.S. into a socialistic third world country! It’s as if McCain really doesn’t seriously want the job of POTUS, and McCain wasn’t anywhere on my list of GOP Presidential hopefuls anyways. I wanted Duncan Hunter!
