Karl Rove agreed with me.  At 2:23 it happens. He says sure it might be a good tactic but its way too late in the process to try to Obama’s ‘known associations’ against him now. I’m in a state of shock and denial.

Oh yeah, and that latest known associate Palin tried to turn into a rally point? McCain helped fund an organization for which Khalidi was a (known) founder.  I wonder if someone forgot to tell her or she just thought it was good to get Obama’s known relationship out there. That again goes to my point to stick to the talking point this late in the game.

For reference on McCain’s known involvement with this questionable person of interest, check out the group, on which McCain sat on the Board of Directors, The International Republican Institute’s financial statement, page 14, line item West Bank, CPRS. Yes, that is over $400,000 given to that group.
