I have to give respect to McCain for at least trying to tone down his supporters. I saw some footage of him on cnn where he was saying nice things about Obama. He was actually booed by his own people at a rally for suggesting people should be respectful of the other side.

He is not afraid to keep running misleading ads but at least he was willing to tell some of his supporters they were wrong about him. Kudos to him for it.

The only problem I have with it is that it seems like it took him so long to say something. The death threats and ridiculousness have been building to a fever pitch for a while and only when the news media on both sides of the political spectrum started saying, "Hey, this could be a very bad thing," did he come out and say "hey, chill out." It feels like he's only doing it because it was called for by the media and not because he actually believes it.

I honestly believe that it was him breaking away from the party handlers for a change. I have watched him for years as I am political junky. He really is a better man normally than what we have seen lately and honestly I think it is thee party machine that took him negative. I think he finally decided to man up and do what he knew was right.
