National Review on Bill Ayers

The editors of National Review did a piece today called "The Unturned Page" where they pointed out that McCain's campaign should focus more on how he is better than Obama economically than attack him by his association with Bill Ayers. They said McCain should address middle-class concerns, show that his agenda will promote growth, make a credible pledge to prevent future financial crises like this one, and tie Obama to the liberals in Congress. 

I thought this was a really good/important article because it criticized focusing on things such as who Obama knew when he was younger that do not reflect how Obama would act as president. The fact that he knew this man does not mean that he has the same beliefs as him, and I think it is good that this conservative website acknowledges that and says that the campaign should talk about the issues that really matter, such as the economy, instead.
