more of McCain's "kitchen sink" attacks

McCain seeks to revive Rezko as campaign issue

CHICAGO – Trailing as Election Day nears, Republican John McCain and his allies are using "robo-calls" and fliers to revive the issue of Barack Obama's ties to a convicted felon, claiming the Democrat hasn't fully explained the relationship.

Mailers to voters in swing states make similar claims, and a conservative group filed an ethics complaint Thursday with the Senate.

But McCain offers no evidence of wrongdoing and raises no new allegations. Instead, he and his supporters claim Obama hasn't been forthcoming about his involvement with Rezko.

But Obama has given extensive interviews on the subject to Chicago newspapers, and a Chicago Tribune editorial praised his openness on the subject. He also has answered many — though not all — questions about from national reporters.

Obama's campaign responded sharply, accusing McCain of "desperate and angry attacks." It also noted that McCain was reprimanded for his role in the "Keating Five" savings and loan scandal of the 1980s.

"We will accept no lectures from the man who was a central figure in the biggest Washington scandal in recent memory," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said.

More utter desperation from McCain and a perfect response from Obama!
