Republican operative Charles Black caught holy hell for saying that a terrorist attack on the U.S. just before Election Day would benefit John McCain. Democrat operative General Wesley Clark caught holy hell for saying that John McCain's internment as a P.O.W. does not qualify him to be President of the United States. What is our problem with truth-tellers?! One should not have to explain or defend the obvious.
With scripted comity, each candidate offered his mea culpa; McCain disavowed his surrogate, then Obama repudiated his. I can't recollect any electioneering so dominated by apologies!
Substance is being sacrificed as both candidates vie for style points: "I love America more than you do." "Oh yeah, well I love god more than you do." I thought this was supposed to be the Change Election--it's starting to look like the Same ol', Same ol' Election!
