In the recent weeks, John McCain and Sarah Palin have been trying to expose the link between Sen. Obama and ACORN and Ayers. This is something they should have been doing all along. They also need to continue to push on his associations with Rev. Wright and Tony Rezko. People need to be made aware of these.
The problem and where they have failed is they are allowing the Illinois Senator to escape the fray without a hitch. Why? They are allowing him to make his case that it's not important and that he is not responsible for their actions. Obama is able to deflect every accusation and make the Republican ticket seem bitter, angry and as though they are grasping at the wind. They are allowing him to turn the tables.
What do they need to do? They need to show the American public why these associations matter and why they make Obama a very, very dangerous pick. They need to point out that it's not just one association or chance meeting, but a pattern of connections. They need to show that this man has picked to maintain relationships with people who have horrible backgrounds. They need to show that these associations continue for long terms. They need to show that Obama has the worst judge of character, at best, of any one who has ever run for the Presidency.
If they cannot, or will not, make this case, they will continue to be viewed as negative and desparate. The American people will not make the connection that this man will make horrible choices for such positions as judges and cabinet posts. They will not see how dangerous this man truly is.
