The McCain campaign has recently been hammering the fact that Barack Obama is 'friends' with a domestic terrorist. While this likely won't work with independents or undecideds, it has worked quite well with people already in the tank for McCain. Not only do they buy the attack, but they are now calling Obama a terrorist and yelling out 'kill him' during McCain rallies. It may be because everyone tends to believe their guy, but I think the reason it works so well with the republican crowd is because Obama is different to them. McCain walks a fine line by opening up this can of worms. He won't win any new votes, but he will validate the fears of those who already cringe at an Obama presidency. I believe this is the stepping stone to an even more divided country. 50 % of America will hate/fear the president. The fact is that both candidates have people in their past that are a little spooky. But the media isn't talking about those McCain associations. I constantly watch CNN, and all they are talking about right now is Bill Ayers. It seems that McCain palling around with anti-semites, racists, extremists and nazis is not news. Why? Once again because McCain looks like you and me. It is the scary outsider who has to prove himself.
