The McCain campaign is clearly exaggerating wildly in attempting to depict Franklin Raines as a close adviser to Obama on "housing and mortgage policy." If we are to believe Raines, he did have a couple of telephone conversations with someone in the Obama campaign. But that hardly makes him an adviser to the candidate himself--and certainly not in the way depicted in the McCain video release. voices.washingtonpost.com

" As she explained last night, to pretty much everyone's satisfaction except those who are trying to use it as a political weapon, she was insisting on budget cuts and he was fighting it. " Hmm. That makes the fourth, different story she has told. I guess the others weren't getting traction. So, which was true? Maybe none of them? Next she will accuse the poor guy of pedophilia and claim he went after her daughter. The McCain/Palin camp is lucky as hell that neither Obama nor the press are making a big issue of this one.
