McCain May Not Have the Killer Instinct

At a rally yesterday, an old woman told John McCain that she didn't trust Barack Obama because he was an Arab. Instead of agreeing with her, or feeding her fears even further, he balked. He took the microphone from her and told her no, that Obama was a decent family man whom he just had some differences with, and that was what his campaign was about. Later on, when he also told the audience that they had nothing to fear from a President Obama, he was boo'd.

Hopefully, this was a sign that John just didn't want to go along with bashing a person's character any more, showing his basic decency. Now he is getting conflicting advice on what he should do next. The worst part for him is that only right-wing hatemongers and crazies seem to be showing up at his rallies. Yeah, he'd be so comfortable here in Colorado Springs...

So Sarah Palin officially abused her powers as governor of Alaska. It was a legislative finding, having no real weight, and she was within her jurisdiction to hire or fire department heads. But her husband was obsessed with trying to get his ex-brother-in-law fired, and constantly used the governor's office to do it.

What might happen if Sarah's sister married a secret service agent, and Tod Palin was left to wander around the White House on his own?
