I actually think in some areas, some of these — or a variant, would make people do a double take AND look again at the man.

I know I appreciate them because I am going nuts with McCain acting so “dainty and nice” about running the perfect, most ethically correct campaign, hesitating to talk about his heroism — not necessarily in that term, but how the experience built character, gave him MUCH opportunity to think, and how he’s devoted his entire life to public service — and has LEARNED so much along the way — unlike his opponent who’s “ascension has been little more than a game of “Hop, Skip & Jump.

Sometimes I want to SCREAM at McCain to dial it up. Especially when I see Obama’s camp slyly setting up surrogates like moron Wesley Clarke to absurdly attack McCain’s prisoner of war time only to then allow Obama to swoop in with his holier-than-thou chastisement and look like the big man paying tribute to McCain’s service.
I think the whole deal was a very clever setup.
