McCain's campaign went 100% negative this week. Of course, most know this is a desperate measure and a clear signal of a campaign that has "no vision for America's future", in John McCain's own words:
The week started with Gov. Sarah Palin the self-described barracuda decided to call Sen. Barack Obama a terrorist
Of course, the Ayres connection has been debunked by every media outlet except Fox and Friends which Obama's spokesperson did a brilliant job of calling them out on :
The truth is McCain/Palin camp is trying to distract voters because they know, as McCain's spokesperson said, "If we keep talking about the economic crisis, we lose." The McCain camp decided the issue they'll try to win on is to paint Barack Obama as "the other" and non-American and a non-person. McCain even referred to Obama as "that one" during the debates. Which voters thought was childish.
McCain's nasty offensive this week riled up his crazy base. The shouted at campaign rallies that Obama is a "terrorist," a "traitor" and he should be "killed."
And don't tell me John McCain didn't hear that guy say terrorist because he obviously had a reaction.
As the McCain supporters got nastier and nastier, McCain slipped further in the polls. John McCain's negatives went way up even a Fox News poll shows Obama has a 60% favorable rating to 34% unfavorable and McCain favorable rating is 53% to 40%. The backlash didn't stop there many staunch supporters of McCain are disgusted with his attacks.
In an ironic twist McCain, after inciting the wingnuts into a rabid frenzy, was forced to defend Obama and the wingnuts reacted with boos.
Obama, of course, reacted to this week with his usual cool demeanor that has won him all the debates
