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.

He's been getting this look of nauseated horror on his face when his supporters start going on about Arabs and terrorists. At the latest "town hall meeting" when someone called Obama an Arab, he literally snatched the mike back from her.

I have this nagging feeling that this campaign has been a series of nightmares for John McCain from the day he won the nomination. There's going to be one hell of a tell-all book written about this campaign when it's all done.

I saw that as well. Yeah, it would have been nice for him to have told people to cool it six months ago. But as the election gets closer, people seem to be getting more hysterical about it.

I was aghast that they actually booed their own candidate for saying they should be respectful, though.

Yeah that one hurt me a bit. Often I am disappointed in people in the general sense. I trust individuals, not people.
