McCain wants to "turn the page"

Good news and bad news

The good news is that my old friend and former '60s radical Sid has quit the McCain campaign in disgust over the current Ayers/Obama slime-boating . "There is some crap I cannot eat," says Sid. The bad news is that my pipeline to the inside of the campaign hierarchy is now shut down.

McCarthy's ghost

McCain says he is turning a page away from this financial crisis (fat chance) and moving on to other topics. Translation--the campaign is dead in the water and is hoping that Palin and a Joe McCarthy rebirth can salvage something--anything.

An apparently embarrassed McCarthyite Steve Diamond is now trying to distance himself from the right-wing bigot bloggers who've been carrying his water on Ayers/Obama. Now he claims he's really of the left, not the far right (who is he trying to convince?) and was simply attacking Obama for his support for Chicago school reform and those "authoritarian" popularly elected Local School Councils (LSCs).

30 Lies

Meanwhile, John Wilson at Huff, refutes the "30 lies about Ayers and Obama"
spread by the likes of Palin, Diamond, Kurtz, Hannity, Martin, and the rest of the swift-boaters.

Clinton strategist Howard Wolfson, who helped launch the Ayers/Rev. Wright/Obama swift-boat during the primaries, now says, "the race is over, Ayers can't save McCain."

And Marc Cooper says that it's McCain who has a '60s rad in his closet.
