In last couple of days, news media kept reporting that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin linked Barack Obama with a domestic terrorist group from the 1970s.

Obama dismissed the attacks, saying his rival John McCain is trying to distract voters from the real issues that Americans is facing like the financial crisis.

"Senator McCain and his operatives are gambling that they can distract you with smears rather than talk to you about substance," Obama was quoted as saying today in Asheville, North Carolina. "That's what you do when you're out of touch, out of ideas, and running out of time."

Yahoo's Election 08 Political Dashboard predicts that if the election was held today, Obama would beat McCain 330 to 178.

A report just released by the Associated Press said that Palin's attacks may backfire on McCain.
