McCain/Palin may be energizing their base with this fluffernutter (because the base is
desperate for something to grasp on to, so this'll do), but slimeballing, rhetoric and fear-mongering aren't likely to work for the GOP this year the way it did in '04, at this point, the winning issue is, IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID. This is a key paragraph from the above link that to me shows Obama's campaign "gets" how to close this campaign strong:

Obama's best strategy may simply be to appear before a national audience as frequently as possible, as voters have always almost reacted favorably to Obama when he has had such opportunities. Obama's favorables ticked upward in all three trackers in today's release, suggesting that his strong performance in Tuesday night's debate may cancel out or exceed any traction that McCain had been able to make on Ayers. This may also be the impetus behind Obama's decision today to make a 30-minute, prime time ad buy in the week before the election, as candidates have few opportunities to reach a mass audience once the final debate has come and gone. If it so desired, the Obama campaign could probably also drive a decent amount of attention to the Keating Five, as the traffic metrics on the story essentially matched that of Ayers for the 48 hours or so that Chicago was pushing it.
