***An adviser to Republican John McCain's campaign, Mark Salter, said he had no comment on the reports about Obama’s relative. “It's a family matter,” Salter said.***
McCain has proved to me that he's an old has-been that has no heart for the battle. This is the type of issue that deals with immigration, honesty, criminality and every other issue that would benefit McCain if he challenged Obama on it but he won't.
Now I think McCain is playing this right.
let other people make a big deal of it & keep it in the news.
Remember McCain is NOT fighting for your vote but for the remaining 10%. These “wishy-washy-why-can't-we-get-along-they-wet-their-pants-on-displays-of-partisianship” undecideds who might think that to make an issue of it was being mean & petty.
Unfortunately that's what our elections have degenerated into a battile for the votes of the least informed & least engaged.
