I'm much more interested in policy than in who my candidate crossed paths with over the years. I can see how the Wright thing would be scary to some people, of course, but the Ayers thing is just ridiculous.
But I also take your point, pan, about how poorly Obama handled these accusations. I suspect he thought that it was ridiculous and wouldn't get any traction, and then when they did, he zig-zagged some in his attempts to address it. At least that's what it looked like to me. Fortunately, it was really the only zig-zag in the whole campaign--compared to McCain, whose entire last two months was zigging and zagging.
Ultimately, I think we're both voting for the right guy.
