What's the hold up here? Who's killing this story?

1. This would be a great time to bring that nightmare up!

When you bring up bad stuff about them they say it's not fair and they get all the channels to not run it, like McCain's cancer ad.

3. I've been telling people about it, and they never remember....

then when I get half way through the story they say; "oh yeah, I remember that"...

That's the problem, no one remembers it.

2. Amen

4. The Obama campaign apparently doesn't think it's in its best interests to push it,

though we have no idea if they'll bring it up later. I doubt they will. It's a 20-year-old scandal, mostly involving Dems, and in which McCain was cleared of all wrongdoing (but criticized for "poor judgment.")

I'd save it as a counter to a later Rezko push. The two situations are similar enough that mention of one can segue into mention of another.

5. The whole thing is too complicated to explain to people

It does not soundbite well into a 30 second ad.

And also the fact that it was 18 years ago, beyond many people's memory.

6. The holdup? Simple...

Go to this page and see if you can figure out what the holdup is.
You won't even need to do any scrolling, it's right there, at the top, plain as day.
