I've been saying from the beginning that this is a story that's never gonna get any legs. No one's vote is going to change over this issue. While recent information has made it clear his relationship is more than a tangential case of they live in the same neighborhood and yes some 13 years ago he met in his living room - it's been more than that - there's not a lot of evidence that Obama espouses some of his radical views.

If you want to build a case against Obama, you'd be better off looking at what he's going to do, or what he plans to do. Frankly, it kind of bugs me much more that Bill Ayers is a Distinguished Professor at U. of Illinois in Chicago. What kind of institution puts a guy like him in a professor's role? What, they couldn't get Charles Manson?

But let's consider THIS -

Suppose a similar kind of relationship - however tenuous - existed between McCain, and say, a high level KKK or white supremacist. Do you think that the left would for a second refrain from exploiting such a relationship? Heck, they're already citing racism for just about anything that besmirches Obama, real or imagined.
