First, McCain's judgement is called into question. From most accounts he wanted to go with Lieberman, but caved under pressure from the right.
Second, he went along with releasing info about Palin in a piecemeal fashion, as a response to rumors (?) about the parentage of little Trig.
Third, the campaign is placing a weird emphasis on Cindy's work with adoptions. They trotted out an adoptive father tonight, with his adoring adopted daughter at his side.
Fourth, Palin is serving as a shield and smokescreen for McCain's positions, or lack thereof.
Fifth, the Republican platform committee today approved a plank BANNING abortion, in ALL CASES.
This election is taking on an importance that, honestly, I didn't think it had before. A McCain victory might possibly turn the country over to far right radicals in a way that seemed impossible six months ago.
