Husking corn in Omaha

HEY!  WHAT's wrong with this picture:  McCain is reassuring his rabid audiences that they need not be "scared" if Obama would become our  next president because Barack was a decent guy.   But there was Sarah Palin's profile of Obama at a campaign rally Sunday night  in, of all places, Nebraska, a state where the only way any Democratic presidential candidate  could win is if all of the Republicans took early retirement and moved to Florida.  Asserted Sarah:  You must question Obama's patriotism since he used to hang out with terrorists.  Time out again from McCain's sweet talk to hear from the surrogate assailants. .

If you think you know who McCain really is you might take a look at the McCain profile in the Oct. 16 issue of Rolling Stone.  Written by Tim Dickinson, a Republican who voted for McCain in the California primary in 2000.  In the lengthy piece ranging  from clumsy Navy pilot to erratic presidential candidate with a couple of marriages in between, McCain loses on all counts.   All.
