1. I thought at first that you meant have him there as his guest!
... or is that what you DID mean?

2. If McCain throws Ayers at him, all he has to do is acknowledge that
he has met the man who, incidentally, was never charged with any crime, and then mention Keating, Abramoff and how many others who McCain has worked with were did, or still are serving time for their crimes.

"Do you really want to go there, Senator McCain?"

5. Obama speaks slowly because he actually thinks about the question and his answer.
But, when he knows the answer he's very much to the point and articulate. I think in the long run the best way to deal with Ayers is for Obama to explain. I have every confidence that he will be prepared and handle the situation perfectly.

6. But what if Ayers tells the kids to Kill their parents again?
Or tells the courts Don't hold teen murderers responsible?

That would be terrible for Obama. Not worth the risk.
