More Challenges for McCain, From Ayers to the Palin Pick
Obama Leads on Optimism and Temperament in Final Weeks
ANALYSIS by GARY LANGER
Oct. 20, 2008

More challenges for John McCain: Likely voters overwhelmingly reject his effort to make an issue of Barack Obama's association with 1960s radical William Ayers. Fallout continues from McCain's pick of Sarah Palin for vice president, with 52 percent saying it weakens their confidence in his judgment. And on optimism, it's Obama by 2-1.

Skepticism about the Ayers issue was one of the factors cited by Colin Powell in his endorsement of Obama yesterday, and in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll, likely voters broadly agree: 60 percent say Obama's relationship with Ayers is not a legitimate issue in the presidential campaign; 37 percent say it is.

Everything obviously has limits. McCain isn't going to start saying Obama is Jewish.

I agree it's all but certain McCain will lose. But should he just give up?

McCain and the Republican party need to be very careful how low they go though. They don't want to end up dragging down the Republican House and Senate races too. IMHO McCain will try to end his campaign honorably instead of taking the low road and going on an all-out onslaught of Obama's character.

You are sounding far too hopeful for the GOP. I expect it to get much worse from them.
