    Uppity

    I consider the whole "arrogant/presumptuous" charge by McCain to be a racist wolfwhistle. When has supposed (or real) arrogance ever been a major campaign theme? Racists hear "uppity n-----" when they hear those words applied to Obama. So yeah, I think McCain's campaign has played the race card.
