"The difference here is clear. John McCain has been open and honest about the Keating matter, and even the Democratic special counsel in charge recommended that Senator McCain be completely exonerated.

Nor has Barack Obama come clean on his close friendship with Tony Rezko, a felon convicted on bribery charges who subsidized the purchase of Barack Obama’s home."

I wonder why the Obama campaign keeps bringing up the Keating scandal when McCain was exonerated: they must think the American people are stupid. The younger voters may not remember it - of course, Obama's playing them for fools - but the older voters certainly do. McCain didn't do anything wrong. It was that mere appearance of impropriety that launched McCain's anti-corruption efforts. He's never hid it. How cynical does Obama's campaign have to be to twist that into being the equal of helping scum like Bill Ayers? That's not only truly sick but it's a lie - and it shows how low Obama and his supporters will go. Guilt by association? Puh-leaze. John McCain has been in politics for 30 years:
