You would think that McCain would learn his lesson. But old dogs can't learn new tricks. As his campaign continues to slide into chaos, the candidate has failed to address the many factors that have caused it.
His negative campaigning seemed to be fading in the public eye although it continued through "Robocalls." Many thought that his failure to link William Ayers to Mr. Obama would force McCain to attack with a different strategy. His initial strategy seemd to be waning but a new story in the New York Times states differently.
McCain's focus has now shifted to a new video that the LA Times is said to be withholding. The video supposedly has Mr. Obama praising a friend named, Rashid Khalidi. This "friend" is known to be a spokesman for th PLO.
Knowing that his weakness is the economy, Mr. McCain has had to target Obama's character. Unfortunately for Mr. McCain 9/11 is over and the recession is here. Americans are no longer thinking about Al Qaeda and Iraq but whether they're going to maintain their jobs. And most Americans are smart enough to realize that this late in the election the Republicans would be so lucky to all of a sudden find out that they've been running against a terrorist all along.
It's truly sad how McCain has abandoned all ethics in his campaign and fails to see that this year was the right year for him to run the kind of political campaign that he was known and respected for. He needs to remember that the reason he won the GOP nomination was rooted in the fact that he was the least like Bush.
