McCain Doesn't Take the Ayers Opening.

Moderator Scheifffer asks the candidates if the candidates will say to "each other's face" what they're campaigns have been saying to each other.

McCain does not mention Ayers, Wright or Rezko.


Instead, he lectures Obama for not repudiating John Lewis for comparing McCain to George Wallace. McCain says those remarks were "so hurtful" and "very unfair and totally inappropriate."

Hits Obama or spending "unprecendented amounts of money" attacking him on the airwaves.
