Does anyone think it would be worth the effort of Obama's
campaign to neutralize the Ayers association for the benefit of 'fence sitters?'

1. I don't know about neutralize,
But how come if Ayers was/is such a dangerous terrorist , he hasn't been arrested? He was investigated during the hyper law and order Nixon administration, are we to believe that Nixon the paranoid was soft on domestic terrorists?

2. I've wondered about that
How did Ayers avoid prosecution if he was so clearly guilty?



Anyway, I would like to see some reaction from Obama or the campaign. Kerry didn't want to give credibility to the swift boat attacks, but his slow reaction was read as an admission of guilt by many.

I think Obama can take action to neutralize the attacks and still keep the bigger focus on the economy.

4. I feel the same way because I keep thinking about Kerry.
McCain's camp (Palin, specifically) was shown on the trail, saying that the MSM should question him about it. Maybe that would be a better idea than waiting for McCain to bring it up at a debate. I don't think McCain has the guts anyway.

3. No, talk about the economy and what Obama would do as prez.
Let some surrogate once again debunk the Ayers thing, but as a minor effort.
