Luckily the Obama-Biden team has learned from the mistakes of 2004 and the Swiftboat ploy. The gloves are off. The veil of decency has been pierced (as if it hadn't been already). And Obama-Biden is fighting back - hard. If guilt by association is a tactic that McCain-Palin want to play, then turnabout is fair play. Too bad McCain-Palin didn't think about the potential responses. Very bad Game Theory!

And apparently, they forgot about John McCain's pal, Charles H. Keating, Jr. Not wasting any time, today the Obama-Biden team unveiled their new Keating Economics web site. But you already knew that.

Now, some of you may be disappointed with the negative attack from Obama-Biden regarding the Keating scandal - it's old news, it's not a current issue, McCain was never charged with a crime. But Obama too was never charged with any crime. And there is a modern moral to the Keating story - we are repeating the same mistakes of the 1980s S&L crisis and then some. And who forgot his own mistakes and helped make them again? John McCain of course.

And at $700 Billion (or more), today's banking crisis is even bigger than the formerly gargantuan S&L scandal. McCain and his Republican friends in the Senate may have forgotten about the dangers of irresponsible deregulation in banking, but we shouldn't. And the Obama-Biden team hasn't either. And that's why it's important to remember Charles Keating's Lincoln Savings and Loan failure. We're repeating that history right now.

Let's not let this happen a third time. Help fight the McCain-Palin smears. Today, is the final day to register new voters in many key states like Ohio, Virginia, and Florida. And let's not forget some Senate battlegrounds like Kentucky, Colorado, Mississippi, and Georgia. If you're pounding the pavement to get Blue Voters registered, you may only have a few hours left to get registrations postmarked.

And help give the boot to McCain's Republican allies in the Senate. There are several key races where Democrats are close to victory but need help on the ground, and financially.
