Yep, he is very desperate. Today Palin said he hangs out with terrorists. McCain's campaign is failing. He is behind in the polls and falling. He announced yesterday that they were "turning" the page on the economy and that they were going to focus on proving that Obama was not to be trusted with the job and he is not ready for the job. That means he is going dirty.

I'm sure Obama will give it back to him. He has been around for a long time and there is plenty of dirt on him to sling back. I also have a feeling Obama will be pointing this out during the debates. When it gets to the economic debate you can bet Obama will say something like, "John McCain doesn't have an answer for how to solve the economic problems this country faces so he is trying to distract you with scare tactics."

This is hail mary #3 for McCain. The first one was picking Palin and it failed. Now more independents dislike her than like her and while she has influenced the base, clearly it wasn't that much because they are still losing traditionally red states. The second was his, "suspension" of his campaign. It also didn't fail. Now he is tossing up another one and trying to scare people into thinking Obama is a terrorist that will destroy the country. I'm going to imagine this one won't work either. In the past they have worked because the democrats haven't fought back. Obama has proven he is willing to hit back. If you live in a battleground state you can expect nothing but mudslinging commercials on TV from here until election day.
