Waving the flag on Iraq -- now in rerun!

McCain's attack on Obama as a defeatist is right out of the Karl Rove playbook. But here's why it won't work.

    McCain: The Idiot's Choice

    Dear Salon,

    Perhaps I have missed it, but I have not seen or heard anyone state the OBVIOUS concerning the Obama-McCain race. The simple and ugly fact is that IF (God help us!) John McCain is elected president it will be purely because those who vote for him are RACIST! Obama has offered this country more hope for the future than any candidate since JFK and yet some of the willfully ignorant among us would rather have more of the horror of the Bush years rather than vote for a black man.
