The McCain campaign released updated details moments ago of VP candidate Sarah Palin's first trip to North Carolina.
Palin will be appearing tomorrow at a rally at Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum in Greenville. The rally begins at 5:30 p.m.; doors open at 4 p.m.
Those attending should expect to hear Palin continue to press on Barack Obama's link to former 1960s radical William Ayers - although Palin has dialed it back a bit today. Instead of saying Obama had "palled around" with Ayers, as Palin said this weekend, she said in Florida today:
“Barack Obama says that Ayers was just someone in the neighborhood. But that’s less than truthful. His own top advisor said they were, quote, ‘certainly friendly.’ In fact, Obama held one of his first meetings of his political career in Bill Ayers’s living room. And they’ve worked together on various projects in Chicago.”
And: “So, Florida, you know that you’re gonna have to hang on to your hats, because from now until Election Day, it may get kinda rough.”
Obama's response, on the Tom Joyner radio show today: “(Ayers is) a professor at the University of Chicago – ah, Illinois, teaches education, and he engaged in these despicable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old. I served on a board with him. And so now they’re trying to use this as guilt by association."
And: "I think the American people deserve better. I think they deserve a last four weeks that talks about the economic crisis."

Ayers still says he wishes he could have done more... (more bombings) to this day. I guess I will be edited out if the comments aren't approved. This is not offensive, nor abusive..
Republicans are getting desperate. What happened to the Straight Talk Express. McCain you've lost my support.
Stop this smear nonsense. The McCain camp is getting desperate. Palin shouldn't be one to point out with her pending subpeonas, her husband's ties to a secessionist party, her knocked up teen and her complete lack of knowledge, depth and experience to even come close to having the ambition of being VP. The woman is a joke and so is McCain at this point. Obama is going to win in November.
Guilty by association--how about McCain and the Keating 5? How about Pallin and the Bridge to Nowhere--Trooper Gate?
At least these comments are true. You compare this TrooperGate, etc??? This guy is a complete nut-job.
It's about time someone took Obama to task on this. McCain, for some reason, isn't talking about it and I'd like to know why. Obama would do it to him in a heartbeat. And for those who says the republicans are getting desperate? How so? Can you honestly sit there and say that his associations with a known terrorist is not pertinent to him running for the presidency of the United States and being the commander-in-chief? Give me a break! If you believe that, I've got some ocean-front property I'd like to see ya.
McCain's clutching at straws as the campaign winds down into the last four weeks. He knows this is his last hurrah as a presidential candidate. He can't stand watching it all slip away from him, so he just throws out all this crap hoping some fools will fall for it.
The difference between this and the Keating 5, between this and Troopergate:
Ayers = guilt by association
Keating 5 = McCain being held responsible for his decisions.
Troopergate = Palin being held responsible for her decisions.
Just like the Bush administration, McCain/Palin is nothing but talk when it comes to personal responsibility.
Yes, Troopergate. How DARE she try to fire a State Trooper that gets drunk in his patrol vehicle and tases his stepson. How awful! I say string her up!!!!
I'm fifty-three years old. And, I still wonder when people will stop living the civil war? It's over!Is that d__N with and N, or an M. GO figure.
"McCain you've lost my support."
Like he had it from you to begin with...
TO: Anonymous said "McCain/Palin is nothing but talk when it comes to personal responsablility"
You probably don't know what personal responsability is, specially if you are voting for a crook, a lier and a person who wants to take away from people who bust the butts making a living and give it to people who sit on their butts and do nothing except collect a check from the government every month. You are probably one of them.
Obama wants the government to do everything for the american people. He'll probably end up telling you when you can go to the bathroom.
If he wants to be president, let him go where he will fit in: Russia and the communist party. They think like him.
Yes, Anon 1:37, I too was for McCain until I heard his campaign say something bad about Obama. How dare he! Any politician who speaks badly about another politician will never get my vote! Oh please.
"You probably don't know what personal responsability is, specially if you are voting for a crook, a lier and a person who wants to take away from people who bust the butts making a living and give it to people who sit on their butts and do nothing except collect a check from the government every month.

John McCain wants to cut $1.3 trillion from the Medicare budget and give it to the wealthy elite, so they won't have to lose their 5th home.
There was once a time when Republicans could take the high ground on wealth redistribution, but no longer. Nowadays it's "rob the poor to feed the rich" from the right side of the aisle.
Hugh McColl is either suffering from dimentia or he has been told that if Obama wins he can have his old job back. Anyone who thinks higher taxes & meeting with psyco world terrorists without pre-conditions is a way out of this mess has a jaded a sense of reality, that's unfortunate, really kind of sad. Unfortunately those now calling for Obama some day will be saying. "I want my mama."
Want to hear what Libya's Gaddafi says about Obama? Listen if you dare.

I respect the service John McCain did for his country, but to put him on a pedistal for being a POW is dead wrong. Many POW's went through torture when questioned and did what they were suppose to do. name, rank, serial number, McCain even admitted that he fell to the pressure abd gave in to what they wanted to know. I, as an American Citizen sure don't want someone who caves in in charge of our national security
