Thread Name: BS: Popular views on McCain
Subject: RE: BS: Popular views on McCain
Evidently McCain is having some misgivings about how his "demonization of Obama" campaign is going. His and Palin's crowds are getting more raucous and abusive, with calls of "Terrorist!"and "Kill him!" McCain actually pulled the microphone from one woman after she called Obama "an Arab" and told her that Obama was an American, a decent human being whom he disagreed with on major policy positions. He also told someone else (who was extremely angry that "untrustworthy" Obama might become President) that Obama would make a good President, although he McCain would make a better one, and then McCain was booed by the crowd.

McCain should be ashamed of himself for approving the "demonization campaign." And I hope he falls further and further behind in the polls. What a strategy for "uniting" the country! No wonder even George Will is repudiating what the McCain Campaign is doing.

It is difficult to see how the McCain Campaign can win nationally by appealing to their most "base" base (wing-nuts, racists, fascists, choose your own noun).
