When is it TOO soon and when is it TOO late? Early voting is going on right now and Obama has a huge lead.

I think this is exactly where we want to be right now.

4. This is all you need to know about the Ayers debate...

-------------Snip--------------------- from the Newsweek article...



"The poll suggests that the McCain campaign's strategy of sharp attacks on Obama's character have not yet had their desired effect and may, in fact, be backfiring. In recent days, McCain's campaign—and, in particular, his running mate, Sarah Palin—have sought to highlight Obama's ties to the '60s radical William Ayers and paint the Democratic nominee as outside of the mainstream. But 60 percent of voters said they have a favorable view of Obama, while 36 percent said they viewed the Democratic candidate unfavorably. That's actually an improvement from a month ago, when Obama's favorable to unfavorable ratio was 57 to 37. In the same period, McCain's favorability rating has decreased, from 57 percent in September to 51 percent today, while his unfavorable percentage have risen, 36 to 45.

Further, 59 percent of voters in the poll said Obama shares their values, compared to 37 percent who said he does not. By contrast, 47 percent of voters said McCain shares their values while 49 percent said he does not. Forty-eight percent of voters said Palin shares their values, while 47 percent said she does not."

At this point I hope they continue with the useless character attacks!

Let's hope that's the case.
