I think Wallace was one of the Fox anchors who complained on-air that they were bashing Obama too much. Nice to see him do a tough, fair and balanced interview with McCain. ;<)

When people saw you at the Al Smith dinner and they saw you on "Letterman," a number of people this week said, "Where's that John McCain been, If John can't be John while running his campiagn - if he is taking orders from his staff - then John has no business being President. Increasingly as time goes on it looks as if John is just a pawn. steve

>>WALLACE: But, Senator, according to a New York Times poll this week - - and let's put it up on the screen -- there you can see it -- 62 percent of independents now think you're spending more time attacking Obama than explaining what you would do as president. Haven't you gone on the attack against Ayres because you're behind? MCCAIN: Facts are stubborn things. Senator Obama has spent more money on attack ads against me than any campaign in history. In all due respect to that kind of poll, I know what kind of campaign we're running. I know what we're saying at the rallies.<< Ed - This was an interesting segment of that interview. Wallace had been talking about the robocalls, which are an unabashed attack on Obama for associating with Ayers. Then McCain had the nerve to say "I know what kind of campaign we're running. I know what we're saying at the rallies." Wallace let him have it both ways there. But it was a fairly challenging interview. I'd like to have seen Wallace ask McCain about Palin's response to the Branchflower report, though. That is a question that hasn't been asked of McCain at all, and of course Palin doesn't answer many questions from the press. - Allen
