    McCain's anger is palpable

    It's getting unnerving. Any sense of dignity McCain had is being shredded, and he only has himself to blame.

    It's funny, I am now soooo glad Obama went through the ugly, divisive primary. If the Wright, Ayers and Rezko stuff were unknown, the R's might have been effective if these things were entered into the equation without time to digest it.

    Because they're old, McCain is having to go over the top, and it's not pretty.

    p.s. LOL on the conservative radio host gig, he would fit right in at this point.
