Obama to Hit McCain on the Keating 5   [Greg Pollowitz]

Politico reports:

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday is launching a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.

Pushing back against what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign overnight began e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.

The only problem is that Team Obama registered "KeatingEconomics.com" on September 25, days before Gov. Palin's truthful statement about Senator Obama's association with terrorist Bill Ayers. This indicates that Obama was going to use "guilt-by-association tactics," no matter what Team McCain did.
