ABC's Exclusive interview with Republican John McCain was divided, like Wednesday's two-parter with Barack Obama (here and here) into two topics, although unlike Obama, ABC aired it as a single six-minute long segment. First, anchor Charles Gibson asked about McCain's response to the financial crisis; then he asked about his campaign's personal attacks against Obama. Gibson cited a voter complaint that both candidates display little anger in the face of crisis. "Well, I have never been accused of a lack of passion," McCain answered, even though he had just been accused of precisely that. Later, Gibson told McCain that Obama had told him that he was "surprised" that his ties to William Ayers--the washed-up unrepentant terrorist, in McCain's words--had not been raised by McCain face-to-face in Tuesday's town hall debate: "Again, two things I have never been accused of lacking…one is passion and the other is courage. I mean, I can accept a lot of other criticisms. It did not come up in the flow of conversation."
