John McCain is down in the poll numbers, down in the electoral college projections, and looks to have a number of red states torn from his grasp. His campaign has gone on the attack over the past week, most noticeably by making referance to Obama’s aquaintanceship with former Weatherman Bill Ayers. Now, McCain has broken his own campaign rule of leaving spouses alone and is attacking Michelle.
Via Talking Points Memo:
The attack? Bernardine Dohrn, Ayers’ wife and fellow former Weatherman, went to work in 1984 for the major Chicago-based national law firm of Sidley & Austin, and three years later, Michelle joined the mega-firm as well.
That’s the entire attack. We wish we were joking. But we aren’t.
In launching this latest, McCain is ditching yet another formerly-claimed principle as he faces the growing likelihood of defeat. In a statement back in June, the McCain campaign said: “Senator McCain agrees with Senator Obama that spouses should not be an issue in this campaign, and he has stated that position frequently.”
TPM goes on later to explain that this attackactually came directly from a McCain campaign conferance call, not from a rouge surrogate. I expect things to get even uglier as we approach Election Day.

This is infuriating.
My guess? Barack either will, or already has, phoned McCain directly to say “Enough.”
Calmly, coolly. But clearly. Reminding him that they both pledged not to go there.
The frustrating part of that is that the Obama campaign is unlikely to speak publicly about any steps they take in this regard.

This is sad…really, really sad! But, I am certainly not surprised. It is just typical. When folks like this are against the wall and about to loose they will do one of two things: change the rules or lie…. Actually, that’s not true - they will do one thing: change the rules AND lie. We’ve heard the lies now I’m just wondering how they intend to change rules. This should be very interesting.

When has Black hair NOT been political?

I referenced this article in a blog post discussing Michelle Obama’s potential reactions to this issue.

I think we much combat this strongly. It is amazing how he wants to protect his own wife but does not see the hypocrisy in attacking Michelle.
McCain’s conduct completely disgusts me in this election.

Desperate times lead to desperate measures. It’s just one more indication that McCain realises that he’s going to get a spanking at election time. What’s really sad, though, is that this is one of the things coming out of the presidential election that reflects badly across the world on both US politicians and the US citizenship.
As a European, when I watch and listen to McCain It makes me wonder why so many Americans are so gullible and stupid as to even suggest that that McCain can (or could ever be) taken seriously as the leader of what is the most powerful country in the world. I can’t help suspect that McCain if no more than a glove puppet for dark forces in North America. The man lacks any sort of substance or style. If McCain IS elected then look out America.

Going after Michelle is not going to cast a good comparison with John’s wife, Sarah Palin.
Here’s where Michelle’s great grandparents were born - Friendfield Plantation slave quarters.

Try that elitist bs on Michelle, and you only draw more attention to Palin’s clothing budget.

I agree with xendor. I’m an Aussie and am completely mystified as to how so many Americans can possibly take McCain seriously. He comes across in Australia as a complete idiot and it’s not just my view it’s many of us. If you guys elect him, together with Sarah Palin (OMG! what a combination) you will be the laughing stock of the world. AMERICA WAKE UP!! you need to go forward. We want you to be the great big beautiful country you used to be. Just give Obama a chance…whats 4 years. If you don’t like what he does you can vote him out again…but right now you need him to give your country and the world confidence in you again not to mention credibility. It certainly won’t if you dish up more of the same.

What is happening in America is pathetic. How can this progressive country allow Fox News to behave the way they do. All I want to say is that Jamaica will be watching Nov 4 and if Americans vote for McCain and Palin I can assure you that you will be the laughing stock here. Obama is a superior candidate , a visionary -who is in touch with reality.McCain comes across as reactive and one who who takes hits without checking the sources. He is so erratic and poor in judgement that I shudder to think what will happen to US if he wins. Give Barack a chance, he can do no worse than Bush. The middle class needs attention.
