They knew that there was a high likelihood of a negative campaign with the Republicans going after Obama for his associations with racists, Marxists, and terrorists. As popular as John Glenn is in Ohio, and as popular as he is with the older generation, using him as a surrogate is just stupid as it takes away whatever shred of credibility the Obama campaign has when they go after McCain for his involvement in the Keating 5 scandal. And the timing of all of this does nothing but work in McCain's favor.
  • inactive, on 10/07/2008, -1/+7He was, but that's not the point. Obama is questioning McCain's judgment and character over this scandal. Now why would he accept a very public endorsement from someone with poor judgment and who doesn't have much character?

    Don't get me wrong, I think that both John Glenn and John McCain are great Americans who we as a country should be proud of. This is just poor strategery and blatant hypocrisy on Obama's part. Here is an email that I received from Obama's campaign:


    John McCain wants you to forget about his role in our country's last major financial crisis and costly bailout: the savings and loan crisis of the late '80s and early '90s.

    But voters deserve to know that the failed philosophy and culture of corruption that created the savings and loan crisis then are alive in the current crisis -- and in John McCain's plans for our economic future.

    We just released a short documentary about John McCain's role in that financial crisis -- watch it now and share it with your friends:

    Voters should know the facts about John McCain's poor judgment -- judgment that has twice placed him on the wrong side of history.

    Please forward this email to everyone you know.

    Thanks,
