Chicago, IL -- Less than a month away from Election Day and down in the polls, John McCain's campaign is planning an all out assault on Democrat Barack Obama's character...
Ron Bonjean, Republican strategist: "It's clear we're at a tipping point. We're at a decisive moment where Senator McCain needs to act, and act fast."
Running mate Sarah Palin led the charge first in Omaha, Sunday, and in Florida, Monday morning...questioning Obama's association with Bill Ayres, a radical activist with the Weather Underground, in the 60's, who is now a professor in Chicago.
Governor Sarah Palin, (R) Alaska: "I'm afraid this is someone who thinks America is imperfect enough to work with a former domestic terrorist. That has nothing to do with change we can believe in."
Obama and Ayres served together on the board of a non-profit, but the Illinois Senator has called Ayres' activities: quote detestable. Sunday, Obama fired back at his opponents.
Senator Barack Obama, (D) Illinois: "They'd rather try to tear our campaign down, than build this country up. That's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, running out of time."
And a new television ad makes it clear...when it comes to questioning character, nothing's off the table...
(Political Ad): "...The Keating 5 involved all the things that have brought on the modern crisis. Five members of Congress, who did the bidding of one of the biggest culprits in the Savings and Loan Bailout."
The ad recalls McCain's involvement in the Keating 5, a group of Senators accused of corruption during the savings and loan crisis in the late 80's.
Diana Alvear, reporting: "Any game changer may happen at Tuesday night's debate, in Tennessee...this time in a town hall style setting, better suited to McCain's style.
