    the events at the Minneapolis convention, including the pre-emptive raids without probable cause on journalists whose equipment was seized and who were thus rendered unable to report, and the actions taken against innocent protestors and journalists at the convention (including Amy Goodman and her crew, numerous AP reporters and photograhers, and at least one reporter from the New York Post who cried out that fact as he was being arrested and stated that the Post was a Republican newspaper...) prejudice me against McCain as well, but the thing which tipped the balance was the earmarks.
