heric, I don't get the sense he has any problem in just letting it go at times, but the stakes are too high and the McCain camp too ready to jump on anything as an issue (I mean, lipstick?)for him not to be very careful right now. I think you may see less of that as the gloves come off, so to speak, and in the debates. Maybe not, I may be wrong, but I still don't fault him for it.

I'd like to buy a gazillion dollars worth of adverts to say to McCain/Palin..."It's not about the lipstick, stupid!"
