Keating 5 (Updated)

Marc Ambinder reports that Obama has green-lighted hitting McCain on his involvement in the Keating 5.

UPDATE: Check out this new site put up by the Obama campaign. I guess he can play hard ball too.

Retaliation for McCain's decision to link Obama to 'questionable associations' or did McCain just provide a convenient excuse?

Obama spokesman Bill Burton said,

"John McCain once said he would run a respectful and honorable campaign -- but now his campaign says that he wants to turn the page on the economy and make character assaults. That’s his choice. But on this issue, his involvement in the Keating scandal is relevant to the economic crisis we find ourselves in."

The Obama campaign intends to release what they are calling a 'documentary' which should drive the news cycle on Monday and really piss off McCain in advance of the town hall debate.

'No drama Obama' seems pretty unflappable, but McCain not so much. Maybe the Tuesday debate won't be so boring.
