Will McCain's latest radio hit piece tying Obama to a Rabbi backfire in Florida?

Going after Rabbi Funye

McCain is up with a new radio spot, a version of his television ad linking Obama to various Chicago characters.

This one says Obama procured "$75,000 for his relative."

"That’s your money Obama’s using. That’s unethical. Helping his friends with your tax dollars," continues the narrator.

The line is a reference to the report that Obama, as a state senator, sent $75,000 in grants for adult literacy, counseling and youth programs at a nonprofit run by his wife's first-cousin once removed, Caspars Funnye.

Funnye is much better known as America's most prominent black rabbi, as the Forward reported.

I think this can hurt McCain in Jewish areas of Florida.
