WTF? McCain attended a Miami 2006 ACORN event to publicize the failed amnesty bill. Obama has a 20 year association with ACORN, during which time he worked for them as a community organizer, as a trainer and as their attorney in a motor voter case. He's also donated over $1,000,000 to ACORN in the past ten years. Yeah. "McCain has just has many ties to ACORN as does Obama." “McCain has just as many ties to ACORN as does Obama.”

I don't disagree with much at all. I think you are right that McCain has about three themes left on this: compare his policy proposals on taxes and health care to Obama's and let 'em stand on their own, and if necessary bring up Ayers and ACORN. I don't see any other options for McCain either. I think the Ayers thing is a non-issue and only opens the door to McCain's much stronger ties to Liddy and Palin's much stronger ties to a total terrorist party in Alaska, but really McCain has no where to go but up. Also, McCain has just as many ties to ACORN as does Obama, so making an issue of it is risky too. I think this is a very good rundown Lisa. I don’t disagree with much at all.
