On the other hand, this may be more than personal preference. All so-called "conservative" English dailies (The Times, Financial Times, and Telegraph) are favoring Obama. FT publicly endorsed him. What makes them go in full force toward Obama? His economic policy does not exactly fits their view on economy.
The only thing I can think of is that Obama is expected to do whatever bailout or nationalization to shore up tottering financial system. He is expected to go full stream with full power of state. As for McCain, he may be heading for the same direction, but his party has vocal opponents to such unapologetic use of state power. He cannot be counted on with 100% certainty in this regard. Economic conservatives or not, now that entire British financial system is facing ruin and Britain has nothing else than finance to make a living, these erstwhile free market champions are all signed up for full government bailout. That is the impression I got from reading three paper for a last month or so. Add usual disdain from Euro intellectuals on Republicans, and you get piece like this.
By the way, I don't see it as a smear. Barak had close association with Ayers, and it should be looked into. It is a serious problem.

She(or whoever wrote the headline) purposely expanded scoped the scope of the headline to “Republicans” instead of the guy from wnd who is behind the ayers wrote obama’s book stuff...
How would this be-otch feel if 0bama was palling around with someone who used to be an IRA bomber?

Cashill is doing yoeman’s work to keep the Ayers question alive. Here’s another Ayers related shocker:
