As far as I'm concerned he's done more to create division in America than any other single person since maybe Joe McCarthy. If he is criticizing McCain, then he has his own reasons for it. Perhaps one of those reasons is by lumping in Obama with the criticism, he can give the impression that Obama is indulging in BS to the same degree McCain is, which isn't true.

McCain has been accused of taking orders from Rove on how to run the campaign. This distances him. After all, you can't really be a maverick if you're dancing to Rove's tune.
