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.

I would press the unprincipled-fraud-of-a-man-who’s-been-coasting-on-the-one-decent-thing-he-did-in-life-since-the-70s-only-to-end-up-an-influence-peddling-corrupt-politician-bankedrolled-by-his-junkie-wife-and-even-sinking-so-low-that-he-embraced-the-man-that-used-his-daughter-as-a-political-tool-to-beat-him-in-order-to-run-a-sleazefest-of-another-campaign-that-is-about-to-lead-to-defeat-and-loss-of-all-respect-of-decent-people button.
But that’s just me.
