John McCain is now delivering the negative message against Barack Obama himself, asking a crowd in Alburquerque, New Mexico today, “Who is the real Senator Obama?”

Here’s a key section of the remarks, sent out moments ago by the McCain campaign:

“My opponent’s touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who’s already authored two memoirs, he’s not exactly an open book. It’s as if somehow the usual rules don’t apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that. Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there’s always a back story with Senator Obama. All people want to know is: What has this man ever actually accomplished in government? What does he plan for America? In short: Who is the real Barack Obama? But ask such questions and all you get in response is another barrage of angry insults.”
