OK here’s Reuters on this story. Reuters sucks even more than AP, if that’ possible.
“Joking that the “heels are off,” Palin launched into an aggressive assault on Obama, accusing him of “palling around with terrorists” and calling him an embarrassment.
She cited a New York Times story on Saturday examining Obama’s relationship with Bill Ayers, a former member of the Vietnam-era militant Weather Underground organization who is now a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The Times concluded they were not close.
“Our opponent though is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough that is he palling around with terrorists who would target their own country?” Palin told a fund-raiser in Englewood, Colorado.”

In the same story, we learn that Obama today held a rally in Illinois. What the hell for? That’s like McCain holding a rally in Utah.
” Obama held a rally in Illinois today!”
Maybe Obama finally realized he even lost Turbin Durbin as a Loyal Supporter! We clearly didn’t mean as in Jock Supporter since bambi will never need one of those things... tee hee!
My guess is to shovel campaign money into the pockets of his Illinois cronies.
For the adulation.
