John McCain's declaration that, thanks to Barack Obama's gibes, he will bring up William Ayers at tomorrow night's debate seems to me rather foolish on several grounds. First, it's hard to see how McCain wins an exchange on this subject. Polls have suggested little public interest in Obama's ...

DAY'S END ROUNDUP
News —
... John McCain’s suggestion that former Weather Underground member William Ayers will come up in tomorrow night’s debate has liberals doubtful of whether that would actually help, while conservatives dispute media reports that McCain supporters yelled at a rally “kill him!” about Barack Obama. Bringing up Obama’s association with Ayers won’t help McCain in tomorrow night’s debate won’t benefit McCain as the public has little interest in the 1960s radical, The Plank’s Christopher Orr declares. Orr envisions viewer-response graphs nose-diving during an awkward exchange about Ayers ...

Will Ayers Come Up?
Real Clear Politics - TIME.com —
Over at TNR, Christopher Orr makes some valid points on the risk McCain runs in bringing up Ayers tonight.

Writes Orr: It's not hard to envision how this may play out: McCain will raise Ayers in that awkward, semi-comic manner of his, as if he's not really sure it's something he wants to be bringing up. (Possibly moderator Bob Shieffer will bring it up for him, which would help, but I suspect any comment he makes will still sound uncomfortable.) The real-time viewer ...
