Although McCain is complaining that he doesn't have much money left, he is certainly spending his war chest on sleaze. And thanks to Josh Marshall at Talkingpointsmemo.com, there is now an interactive map that exposes the tactics in each of the battleground states.
Click on Florida, and one learns that flyers distributed in the state have these themes: Obama kills babies and botched abortions. Robocalls shout about Bill Ayers, Hollywood, and just who is Barack Obama, a thinly veiled code for "do we trust the unfamiliar?"
Click on Indiana and the fear tactics include kids in danger and the flimsy connection between Obama and Ayers. Somehow McCain forgets that Ayers is a professor of education and has associated with many Republicans.
My favorite is a campaign in Pennsylvania that characterizes Sarah Palin as a moderate.
Click through all of the states and one sees that McCain is concentrating his efforts in North Carolina with ten separate flyer and robocall themes.
Is it Election Day yet?
