It could seal his victory.
Obama will be ready with a killer response, McCain would have to speak to the issue, it would spike this right away.
Tom Brokaw would be doing Obama a favor by asking it.
Not sure why that isn't the most obvious thing in the world - this is Politics 101.
"The centerpiece of Sen. McCain’s economic plan — actually, the whole plan — is large tax cuts for corporations. It would deliver $1.44 billion in tax cuts to the five largest media companies..."

second--no suprise that the campaign is trying to take a personal tack since they have absolutely no new ideas or vision to put forward as the new direction they want to take the country--this would be a third Bush term, the campaign is certainly being run like a Bush organization
third--given how the pentagon killed 1000's of innocent vietnamese civilians during the war and 1000's of innocent iraqi's have died as a result of this illegal way anyone who planned to bomb the pentagon should receive a commendation instead of a terrorist label
granted that is a rather extreme view, but trying to link Obama to someone who allegedly was involved in these activites when he was in grade school is pretty extreme in its own right; and didn't palin's 'first dude' belong to an organization that promoted Alaska's secession from the union? couldn't that possibly be viewed as a the actions of a terrorist???
Does John McCain have a list of everyone that he has ever sat on a board with or that has held a fundraiser in his name or who has been to one of his many, many, many homes so that we can get a background check on all of these people.
What about the PTA that Palin was a part of can we investigate every parent or teacher on the PTA that she was a part of?

The truth doesn't matter to these right wing assholes. Lie, cheat, bribe, toe tap, wear a diaper, chase hookers, grab young interns everything is up for grabs as it were. Palin, knocked up daughter, hired her friends and unqualified just at Chimpy did. They are all the same. Once you pull off the wrapper they are the devil underneath. Nothing is sacred except themselves. They don't like people playing by the same rules. They are bullies and when challenged just shout and lie harder.
Look at this list of offenders who are Republican. It will take you a week to read all the files.

But, us Democrat are just so polite and nice that Obama will just suffer the hit in silence.
Attacking CNN in this case. Their debunking of this is already on line.
Don't be so paranoid.
Biden, in VP role as campaign attack dog: convincing, since Biden and McCain are both Senators. Both have equivalent Senate careers. Biden is at least equal to McCain in terms of smarts, record, etc.
Palin, in VP role as campaign attack dog: unconvincing, since Palin NEVER, EVER achieved a record of accomplishment equal to Obama's, educationally, politically, personally, and intellectually.
Obama's Fight The Smears website is good.
Otherwise Obama's ammunition will be.
1. The Keating 5 scandal
2. McCain's ties to lobbyists, Fannie and Freddie to name just two.
3. McCain's gambling issues etc.
4. McCain's ties to Hagee etc.
I'm hoping the moderator won't be that stupid.
Be why are vast numbers of male voters identified solely by their beer drinking habit? Doen's anyone find that insulting?
I have done everything I can in an attempt to get him disqualified.
Obviously to no avail!

McCain is on the ropes, and his health is becoming a question as well. Today, the Keating Five scandal will set the stage for tomorrow's debate. It'll weaken McCain considerably. All of the democratic pundits will be setting the stage for tomorrow's headlines. Palin is under attack in Alaska, and the state supreme court isn't blocking the investingation from moving forward. Expect a revelaing revelation about this soon!
It's about the economy, and everything happening now move this country in the direction of Obama and Biden. Obama is going to tie McCain into the present Crisis: McCain didn't learn from the past. Few peoplel know that McCain's involvement, and documented involvement is what led him to be a so-called reformer of his party. His conscience got the best of him back then, and he felt he had to do something to reform Washington corruption.
Obama will be able to tie all of that in to the John McCain of today, and his continued involvement with lobbyisists. In short, McCain hasn't learned the lessons of the past.
New must-read piece on John McCain's life in Rolling Stone. You might want to link to this and excerpt from it.

Headlines Scream Bailout Failed
Essentially, the bailout achieved zero. Actually, it did enrich the Wall Street crooks and probably some of it ended up in Bush’s secret overseas accounts, say maybe $400 billion of the $700 billion. But stopping the panic, restoring order, saving homeowners homes ending the predatory subprime variable rate ballooning mortgages that caused this crisis, nope! Nothing doing. Of course not. The CEOs are the real Americans, the movers and shakers, the ones whose hard work built and drive America, make those stupid, lazy, loutish, worthless peons, commoners, surfs, and slaves work, work, work, work, work, work and work.
So what makes anyone think that they will now shut up about Ayers? Last week, the dumb one, Hasslebeck brought this up a couple of times, it looks like their mindless supporters in the media are already spreading these false accusation. I hope Obama is able to nip this garbage in the bud.
Plus--Three words to check Palin: Alaskan Independence Party
And, two to mate McOver: Keating Five
It should go something like this:
"Sarah Palin says she one of us - a regular American , Joe Six-Pack...........REALLY?......Then why did she speak at a group that wants to SEPARATE ITSELF from the rest of us? Sarah, why do you HATE AMERICA?
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/10/5/102...
And if Sarah Palin,
Or Tom Brokaw...
wants to talk about palling around with people who find America less than perfect, then it's time to talk about her association with the Alaska Independence Party (AIP), the secessionist group whose founder, Joe Vogler once said:
The fires of hell are frozen glaciers compared to my hatred for the American government...and I won't be buried under their damn flag...
I'm an Alaskan, not an American. I've got no use for America or her damned institutions.
Palin's complete dealings with the group isn't entirely clear, and unfortunately we can't ask Mr. Vogler about it since he was murdered in a plastic explosives sale gone bad," but we do know this: Sarah Palin probably attended the AIP convention 1994, the McCain campaign admits she attended in 2000, and as governor, Palin taped a welcoming message to them in 2006, saying:
Your party plays an important role in our state's politics. I've always said that competition is so good, and that applies to political parties as well. I share your party's vision of upholding the constitution of our great state... So I say good luck on a successful and inspiring convention. Keep up the good work, and God bless you.
Add to that, Todd Palin, aka, the "First Dude," was a registered member of AIP from 1995 until 2002, coincidentally changing his party affiliation when she began her first campaign for public office.
So, we have Sarah Palin, actively involved with a secessionist group that professes its hatred for America, and whose husband was a card-carrying member of the group for seven years. And don't forget, Todd Palin isn't just the spouse of an elected official. He has been called a Shadow Governor, attending private meetings, being sent on fact finding trips, and being copied on emails that were later "prohibited from being released to the public due to executive privilege." This man would be a 72-year old heartbeat and a pillow away from the presidency.
So if Sarah Palin wants to talk about questionable associations, bring it on.
"Toadyin' Tom" would play just as well since Palin drops far too many "g"s in an attempt to show common cause with "Joe & Jane Sixpack".
Although one wonders how "Joe & Jane Sixpack" have anything in common with the Palins, what with their Sarah & Todd's millions of dollars in the bank and the fact they run a state.
