OK, Senator McCain, you want to fight on this turf, you get your wish
Posted by Jill | 5:06 AM
If the McCain camp wants to play guilt-by-association, then Barack Obama is ready:
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Retaliating for what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.

The Obama campaign, including its surrogates appearing on radio and television, will argue that the deregulatory fervor that caused massive, cascading savings-and-loan collapses in the late ‘80s was pursued by McCain throughout his career, and helped cause the current credit crisis.

Obama-Biden communications director Dan Pfeiffer said: “While John McCain may want to turn the page on his erratic response to the current economic crisis, we think voters will find his involvement in a similar crisis to be particularly interesting. His involvement with Keating is a window into McCain’s economic past, present, and future.”


And while we're at it, let's dig up this again as well.

Hey, Maverick Johnny -- you made the decision to go to the gutter, Obama didn't. Sauce for the goose, baby.

1. Link (in "And while we're at it, let's dig up this again as well.") needs to have the "brilliantatbreakfast.blogspot.com/" portion removed from the URL.

2. And where is Ms. Iseman, anyway? (Being melodramatically inclined, having just finished S is for Silence.)
