Maybe it's snowing in hell because someone in the Trad Media is doing their job. It appears the McCain campaign's negative ad tactic is being pre-empted both by Team Obama and the press.
I think if they go forward with the Ayers nontroversy it stands a good chance of backfiring.
Perhaps the Obama campaign can use footage from this segment in a counter-punch ad. They could claim that McCain is a serial smear merchant who has become increasingly unstable. Perhaps John McCain should consider re-suspending his campaign until he finds either his integrity or his bearings.
