Still on Ayers
Ben Smith's Blog — McCain's ad buys are still heaviliy about Bill Ayers, even as the candidate seems to de-emphasize an issue that hasn't seemed to drive up Obama's negatives the way Republicans had hoped. And Halperin reports that McCain is promising to take Obama up on his challenge to attack him on it to his face in tomorrow's debate.

McCain: If I Bring Up Ayers At Debate, It Will Be Obama's Fault
TPM Election Central — In an interview that John McCain gave to local radio in St. Louis, McCain says that he was "astonished" to hear Barack Obama say recently that he was reluctant to bring up Ayers to Obama's face, and promises that he'll raise the subject at tomorrow's debate.

It’s true that John McCain has heeded the nervous rumblings of his base and is now threatening to utter the dreaded name of Bill Ayers tomorrow night, but this is still likely to provide an unsatisfying evening’s entertainment. Many of the complaints have been levied over the format of the debates, which often render the event into little more than a pair of dueling press conferences. What we really need is a far more open, free range format where topics and/or questions are suggested by audience members ...

Telegraphing His Punches
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — ... McCain signaling that he will attack Obama over Ayers in the next debate is a big mistake. My view: whoever brings up Ayers loses. People are worried about their 401ks and their jobs. ...
