Probably not, but he had to know about the man's controversial past.
I think this definitely calls BO's judgement into question. Obviously, I don't believe that BO supports bombing federal buildings and killing innocent people, but he should have better judgement than to be as close as he was to Bill Ayers. A President's decisions on who he surrounds himself with is critically important. GWB has a failed presidency because of who he surrouned himself with. This election wouldn't be about the failed policies of the last 8 years had GWB had better judgement about who he surrounded himself with. I believe that GWB could have been a very effective President had he been surrounded by different people.
All in all, I'm not sure this will be enough for McCain. If I was supporting Obama, it would definitely make me take a second look at this judgement, however.

Good post. I agree. It may not be enough for McCain unless they go further and show his other associations.
