If McCain brings up Ayers, Lynn Sweet's most recent article about how
Obama got started in politics should pretty much shut him down:

McCain misleading public in role Ayers played in Obama political career

*Around this time, Obama started to attend a series of coffees in the Hyde Park community where he lived, standard operating procedure for political rookies running in the neighborhoods surrounding the University of Chicago.

"I was certainly (hosting) one of the first," said Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf, rabbi emeritus at Chicago's KAM Isaiah Israel--located across the street from the Obama home."

"Sam Ackerman told me Tuesday when we exchanged e-mails that "as I recall, the event at Bill Ayers' house (prior to ours) was a fund-raiser for Alice's (Palmer) congressional campaign at which she also introduced Barack as the successor she would like to see elected."
