ace....I dont believe guilt by association should be relevant in this campaign.

But McCain/Palin and their supporters should not expect a double standard.

By the incessant raising of the issue of Wright, Rezko, Ayers.....they made the Palin-Stevens association relevant.....not me or any Obama supporters.

The issue now is if hey believe a convicted felon, who was one of Palin's political mentors with whom she had a close association for most of her political career and on whose PAC board she served, should resign his seat in the Senate....or to put it more bluntly in terms many McCain/Palin supporters will understand....should they throw Stevens under the bus?
