Not Till You've Walked In My Shoes
BAGnewsNotes —
“The day that Senator Obama decided to cast a vote to not fund my son while he was serving sent a cold chill through my body, let me tell you,’’ Mrs. McCain said, in an introduction before Mr. McCain and Ms. Palin delivered speeches at Lehigh. “I would suggest that Senator Obama change shoes with me for just one day.’’ -- (McCain, Palin Step Up Attacks on Obama - NYT)
It's just desperate and sad the way McCain employs daughter Meghan to create this all-female front, then uses Cindy to try and emasculate Obama, suggesting he isn't up to wearing his wife's heels.
What is interesting -- this being the shot the NYT editors ...
Obama: Why Won't McCain Bring Up Ayers To My Face?
TPM Election Central —
Others have already hit this, but it's a key moment: Obama, in an interview with ABC News that aired last night, effectively daring McCain to bring up Ayers to his face:
Between these comments suggesting that McCain is a bit of a coward, and that ad this morning about mortgage policy that takes care to question McCain's judgment in a crisis, it seems like the Obama camp is trying to get under McCain's skin and unnerve him a bit in advance of the final debate next week.

McCain is a coward
Daily Kos —
John Cole: John McCain is not man enough to own his shit. John McCain will not openly confront Obama with his smears and lies and innuendo. John McCain will not come out and talk about Ayers, he has to be asked. That is why he goes to places like Fox News, so he can be asked. What a coincidence. John McCain is a coward. John McCain would rather hide behind his wife and Sarah Palin than say it himself. He would rather produce 2 minute ads that his campaign will never pay to air anywhere, and hope that the tire-swinging media will bring up the topic so he doesn’t have to do it himself. John McCain just wants to ...

McCain Says Ayers Will Come Up in Tomorrow's Debate
News —
McCain Says Ayers Will Come Up in Tomorrow's Debate After repeated calls from conservatives to get more aggressive, and after Barack Obama himself prodded McCain to "say it to my face," John McCain says Obama's association with former Weather Underground member William Ayers will likely come up at tomorrow night's debate. McCain did not specify whether he himself would bring up Ayers, or whether he thought CBS's Bob Schieffer, the debate's moderator, would ask a question about the 1970s radical, but the Arizona Republican seemed to hint that it would come from Schieffer. "I was astonished to hear him say that he was surprised for me to have the guts to do that, because ...
