The Dems are going to have to do better than the Keating five and whatever BS about an MLK holiday you're referring to.

Yeah, your comment about the last state to pass the King Day holiday seems kind of a goofy thing to hold McCain responsible for*, DaemonSeid. And to be honest the number of people likely to be bothered by when Arizona started celebrating King Day even if you can hang it on McCain who aren't already voting for Obama is a pretty small group, I'd guess. (Not that white people don't also love King, but if 90% of Black people are already supporting Obama, how many people can one expect to pick up making King Day an issue?)
And it's not really in conflict to think that Obama lacks real experience in government but still might hold extremely left-wing views or have associations that some more centrist or right-wing people will find extreme. You don't have to hold office or have a voting record to hold or have held political positions or views. I mean, it looks like the Rev. Wright thing is blowing over, but it's a great example of the kind of thing that could come out.
ETA* actually, looking it up, it does seem like McCain is pretty clearly on record opposing King Day and later apologizing for his opposition. But I still don't think it's the sort of thing that's going to drive McCain supports to Obama.

It was John McCain who agreed that "family is off the table"... he has said this before... that doesn't mean his campaign won't leak it.
Sorry, just getting to this thread... interesting. If it is even true, this will certainly be damaging for Barack.
