Say it to my face, bitch......

In an ABC interview last night, Obama, discussing the latest Ayers attacks, brought up that he was surprised that the McCain campaign would push all of this, and then, at the debates, not "say it to my face."

Well, it looks like they think they've found a winner.

Today, Biden says, "John McCain could not bring himself to look Barack Obama in the eye and say the same things to him." Surrogate Vilsack echoes, "Why didn't McCain say it to his face?"

This sets up a really interesting dynamic. They're daring McCain to launch the attack himself, daring him to go out on that limb and defend it. Either that, or he's a coward who "can't look a man in the eye."

(The really shifts the Ayers terrain to McCain's motivations and accuracy. The media will love having an excuse to talk about that. Plus it lets Obama win the "macho" war.)

Meanwhile, while McCain is talking about Ayers, Obama is hitting on McCain's mortgage plan, healthcare, and jobs.
