6. It's time to go Keating 5

Point out the Very close Relationshipn with Keating
the numerous Family vacations, the money the changed hands
and the cost to tax payers

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keating_5

McCain and Keating had become personal friends following their initial contacts in 1981.<8> Between 1982 and 1987, McCain had received $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates.<14> In addition, McCain's wife Cindy McCain and her father Jim Hensley had invested $359,100 in a Keating shopping center in April 1986, a year before McCain met with the regulators. McCain, his family, and their baby-sitter had made nine trips at Keating's expense, sometimes aboard Keating's jet. Three of the trips were made during vacations to Keating's opulent Bahamas retreat at Cat Cay. McCain did not pay Keating (in the amount of $13,433) for some of the trips until years after they were taken, when he learned that Keating was in trouble over Lincoln.<6><15>

2. I was just about to post this. What the fuck?

I guess I'm not surprised that MSNBC finally showed it, but Chuck Todd of all people. They didn't show it the last hour when discussing how Obama was fighting against this.

5. Dan Abrams played the Obama response ad during his last segment.

Dan was even talking to someone abouthow these "lie" ads should be handled.

The difference I see with THIS anti Obama ad v/s the one that was used against Kerry is that the group who put this one together, some crowd calling themselves "American Issues Project" has spent $2.8 on it. If you remember the on against Kerry, they only spent something like $42,000, and the media did the rest!

7. they know negative ads work and that he has nothing else
