Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) on Monday will launch a multimedia campaign to draw attention to the involvement of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in the “Keating Five” savings-and-loan scandal of 1989-91, which blemished McCain’s public image and set him on his course as a self-styled reformer.
Retaliating for what it calls McCain's “guilt-by-association” tactics, the Obama campaign is e-mailing millions of supporters a link to a website, KeatingEconomics.com, which will have a 13-minute documentary on the scandal beginning at noon Eastern time on Monday. The overnight e-mails urge recipients to pass the link on to friends.
Here's the preview:

As I've been saying for some time, Obama's no wilting flower. He's a vicious political fighter hardened in Chicago-style combat. One would have thought McCain's campaign would have learned this from watching what happened to the Clintons and their machine, but apparently not. Now they're learning it the hard way.
