McCain renews attack on Obama as he gains in three key states

AlT, Washington, Miami
A new poll published yesterday showed the US presidential race tightening slightly in the three key states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida, but with Barack Obama still clearly in front In two of them.
Obama leads Republican John McCain by 51 -42 percent in Ohio compared with 52-38 percent on October 23 and by 53-41 percent in Pennsylvania compared with 53-40 percent previously, the poll from Quinnipiac University showed.
In Florida, however, the race was too close to call, with Obama ahead by 47-45 percent compared with 49-44 percent on October 23.
" With six days to go Senator Barack Obama is holding off what appears to be a too-little, too late move by Republican Senator John McCain in Ohio and Pennsylvania, but the Democrat's two-point lead among likely voters in Florida leaves that state too close to call," said the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
The margin of error was 2.6 percent in Ohio and Florida and 2.7 percent In Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, republican John McCain renewed his attacks on Barack Obama's ties to a 1960s radical yesterday as he targeted voters in the key battleground state of Florida.
McCain, who has refrained from linking Obama to Bill Ayers during recent campaign speeches, went back on the offensive six days before the November 4 polls in an interview with aSpanish-language radio station in Miami.
"I think this whole issue of the relationship with Bill Ayers needs to be known by the American people," he told Radio Mambi. "Senator Obama said it was just a guy in the neighborhood. We know much more than that."
Ayers was a member of the "Weathermen" movement, classified by the FBI as a "domestic terrorist organization," which carried out a
series of attacks to protest the Vietnam War, includingon the Pentagon and US Capitol.
Obama met Ayers early in his political career in 1995 but his campaign has said he has not spoken by phone or exchanged e-mail messages with him since Obama became US senator in 2005.
McCain went on to accuse the Los Angeles Times of refusing to publish a video it had obtained of Ayers attending an even with a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
"I don't care much about an old, washed-up unrepentant terrorist, and his wife who was on an FBI top 10 wanted list, "McCain said.
"But we should know about their relationship, including apparently information that is held by the Los Angeles Times concerning an
event that Mr Ayers attended with a PLO spokesman."
McCain appeared to be referring to a Los Angeles Times article from April which said Obama knew and was friendly with Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO spokesman, during his academic career in Chicago.
"The Los Angeles Times refuses to make that videotape public. I'm not in the business of talking about media bias but what if there was a tape with John McCain with a neo-Nazi outfit being held by some media outlet?
"I think the treatment of the issue would be slightly different," he said, saying Ayers had a "long relationship" with Obama, who was eight years old when the Weathermen were waging their radical campaign.
