McCain really has no choice if he intends to remain a viable candidate. If he does not get aggressive he will remain the "Green Screen " candidate, and very few are motivated by boredom.
McCain has yet to figure out where he needs to stand on issues of importance, and cannot afford to commit for fear of future changes in his positions. Thus, it makes political sense to focus the attention on his opponent in a negative attack phase at this point.
McCain has very little charisma, and many voters have grown up in the entertainment age. He is facing someone that seems Charisma incarnate and is well advised to tarnish the golden child if possible. Any lessening of Obama popularity can be considered a lifting of McCains.
Soon enough, the Democrats will begin the Tit for Tat....I would recommend McCain do as much damage as he can before that begins, as there are many dusty skeletons awaiting the light of day.
