On CNN tonight, David Gergen, the most even-handed, least hyperbolic of the punditocracy, noted that the daily tracking polls going in to the debate showed movement, finally, in McCain’s direction.
Oh — and then there’s this, from Talking Points Memo: “McCain Camp Unleashing National Robocall Blitz.” Here’s the nut:
Even as McCain said at the debate he regrets campaign negativity, his camp is releasing a nationwide blitz of robocalls attacking Obama on Ayers, national security, Hollywood, and the old infanticide smear, TPM Election Central reports.
Robocall: Obama Voted To Let Babies Die
Robocall: Obama And ‘Terrorist Bill Ayers’
Robocall: Dems Want Rights For Enemies
Robocall: ‘Hollywood Above America’
And people think this election is over?
The Obama campaign has called the Robocalls dishonorable. He needs to go beyond that. Obama has had the answer for every McCain-Palin gutterball this campaign. He can’t let this October Sleaze go un-countered.
