McCain down in flames

John McCain seems determined not only to lose but to go down in flames.

In the face of moral outrage and criticism even from his own former supporters and conservative pundits, the McPalin guilt-by-association smear tactic just got worse -- or, rather, more ludicrous.

Since it was not working to tear down Barak by association with Bill Ayers, they're now targeting Michelle. Bernadette Dohrn, Bill's wife and herself also an anti-VietNam war radical in the 1960s, later became a lawyer and went to work in 1984 for the Chicago branch of a major national law firm.

Three years later, Michelle Robinson was hired by the same firm.

That's it. They don't even bother to offer any evidence that they even knew each other (there are more than 500 lawyers in the Chicago office alone). They just say they could have known each other. Maybe they did, but so what?

There is no way that John McCain can survive this disaster with any shred of integrity or respect. This is not simply a defeat. It's another plane crash.
