McCain Takes the Bait, Will Bring Up Ayers Tomorrow Night

Shawn Dixon October 14th, 2008

It appears Sen. John McCain will take Sen. Barack Obama up on his challenge.

In an interview on a St. Louis radio station, McCain said Obama’s comments that “I didn’t have the guts” to talk about William Ayers in the last presidential debate have “probably ensured” that the former 1960s radical will come up in Wednesday’s debate.

It looks like McCain will take the bait and bring up Ayers in tomorrow night’s debate. This will be a bad move for McCain and will likely be the nail in the coffin for his campaign. When people watch McCain attack Obama (who most people say already looks more “presidential”) with something trivial, McCain will look angry, out of touch and dare I say, “erratic.” And it will just allow Obama to calmly and coolly explain how ridiculous this faux scandal really is and retire it from the news cycle.
