Death Spasms?
ByPacker weighs in on McCain invoking Ayers:
Other than rousing the uglier impulses of the Republican base, I don’t think the Kristol Plan is going to make much difference. It’s the wrong year. Like Palin herself, the use of Ayers is a sign of ill-health in the Republican Party and a symptom of an ideology in an advanced state of decay. The smarter conservatives, like Frum and Douthat, know this.
All I do know is that if McCain wins after these tactics, he will be unable to govern. The GOP base will want Palin as president and retrench to their natural anti-McCain posture, especially on immigration and the environment; and the Democrats in Congress will never forgive this despicable and dishonorable campaign. Nor should they. It's the vilest campaign since Rove smeared McCain in South Carolina in 2000.
