Here's a good comment about McCain, from the current issue of Rolling Stone:
In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches.
In one vital respect, however, the comparison is deeply unfair to the current president: George W. Bush was a much better pilot.

As Barack's lead widens, and the news becomes more bleak for GOP candidates everywhere, the pent up anger is starting to manifest itself at GOP rallies for McPalin.
The racist rhetoric is beginning to fly, the old lies are resurfacing as John Sidney McCain III has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no clue about the number one issue on the votes minds, the economy.
So the GOP is dipping into their favorite tactic when they're losing, slime your opponent, lie, and 'scurr' the white working class voters into voting against their own economic interests.
How long are they gonna get away with bamboozling and hoodwinking people?
