Reply #13: Wrong. I personally know someone who says this tipped her vote to McCain [View All]

and I don't know a whole lot of people. I think she was leaning McCain anyway, but she attribites this stoyr as "the last straw".

THe polls have showed tightening in recent days and I think its well within the realm of "reasonable" to infer a negative Khalidi-PR campaign had some effect. Negative campaigning, for all its distastefulness- works. That's why they keep doing it.

I think it's too little, too late, Obama has this race won. But I'm not blind to the fact these types of stories have some effect.
