My point is that Obama's involvement with Rezko was no more serious than McCain's with Keating. I guess that remains to be seen. See, e.g., TideGlider's comment on LEOs typically don't go after someone in the height of a political campaign.

Lake pointed out that most polls were based on traditional turnout models. "Obama's ace in the hole however, is his ability to change the electorate. Modeling even a modest increase in youth turnout generates a two point lead for Obama." The intricate campaign ground game, which helped Obama outwit the Clinton political machine in the Democratic primary campaign, is also now going nationwide. And Obama can bank on a multi-million dollar cash advantage over McCain in the final months of the election -- allowing him to mount huge advertising blitzes and stretch his rival's resources.

McCain asked the publication to check with his staff on the number of homes he owned. “So they asked his staff and he said, at least four. At least four. Now think about that. I guess if you think that being rich means you gotta make $5 million, and if you don’t know how many houses you have, then it’s not surprising that you might think the economy is fundamentally strong!” he said incredulously. “But if you’re like me and you’ve got one house or you were like the millions of people who are struggling right now to keep up with their mortgage so that they don’t lose their home, you might have a different perspective.” “There’s just a fundamental gap of understanding between John McCain’s world and what people are going through every single day here in America,” Obama continued. “You don’t have to be a Nobel Prize laureate economist. You just have to have a little bit of a sense of what ordinary people are going through to understand that we can’t afford eight more years or four more years or one more year of the same failed economic policies that George Bush has put in place.”
