ABC's Jake Tapper points out a bit of ill timing...yesterday Bruce Springsteen played a free concert at Ohio State University to promote early voting. The guy who introduced him? John Glenn, former astronaut, former Democratic Senator from Ohio...and former member of the Keating Five. Like McCain, Glenn was reprimanded for exercising "poor judgment" in his actions on behalf of Keating — but the Senate Ethics Committee did not find him guilty of any rule-breaking.

Several hours after Glenn introduced the Boss, the Obama campaign blasted supporters with an email trashing John McCain for his association with corrupt S&L owner Charles Keating. This afternoon, the Obama camp unveiled a 13-minute documentary about McCain's involvement in the scandal. Seems like a dissonant bit of surrogate timing if the idea is that McCain's Keating Five history is evidence of his tainted character and his ties to the "culture of corruption."
