Republicans Attempt to Shift the Campaign to Character Assassination Mode, Meanwhile Economic Issues are What American’s Care About
The DOW Jones is under 10,000 for the first time in years, credit markets are frozen, nearly a million lost jobs since January, and recession is here.
And the focus of the Republican Presidential campaign is character assassination?!
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin expanded her attack on Democrat Barack Obama’s character Monday to include his relationship with an incendiary former pastor as well as his ties to 1960s-era radical Bill Ayers.
In the process, Palin toned down her description of the Obama-Ayers relationship after her weekend remarks were criticized as exaggerated, but at the same time she embarked on a discussion of Obama’s relationship with his former paster, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., which Republican presidential candidate John McCain had signaled he did not want to be a part of his campaign. - AP
All I can say is, wow. It’s telling when in the last month of an election, this is what the Republicans are going to try to focus on.

It’s telling, but it shouldn’t be surprising. Republicans are desperate to change the subject to get folks talking about anything but the economy, because that’s an issue Republicans can’t win on.
