Republicans and Mirrors
As best I can tell, the Republican strategy – no, actually, the core tenent of its faith – is to take every sin you actually commit and wail about how others are doing just that to you. John McCain seems to have it down perfectly:
Did John McCain really just say that Barack Obama gets “touchy” and “angry” whenever he gets questioned on his credentials or policies? I know that projection is a common psychological phenomenon, especially for those who find themselves in desperate situations. But for a set piece speech that must mean it’s afflicted McCain’s entire campaign.
Maybe the dead-enders will accept him as one of them, now? Something else that comes to mind – just how uninformed/pathetically devoted do you have to be to be a McCain/Palin *supporter* at this point? I mean, I can understand not finding Obama appealing, but to find McCain/Palin to be something that you affirmatively support? Boggling.

There are any number of buttons that Obama could press tomorrow night if he wanted to make his opponent explode.

But that’s just me.
