My stock portfolio and 401k are in the dumpster- Im lucky enough to be young enough to weather it out but Ill still retire with a lot less. How does some inflammtaory preacher figure into that? McCain won't because the Obama camp will bring out Vogers( AIP head, an armed insurrectionist killed under questionable circumstance), Hagee, Parsley and Muthee.

It's the ECONOMY , stupid- part II.

elrod, I think you're right on this... I have never considered this angle before and it makes perfect sense to me.

I feel better about McCain if this is true.... better about him because this shows that he does think once in a while before plunging ahead with some idea. If McCain reaches a point where he feels he has nothing to lose I can only hope that he will continue to use this excellent judgement and forgo bringing up Wright's name.

I can't imagine a presidential rally in today's America that devolves into a event with racist slurs shouted back and forth. And I agree with you, I don't think McCain wants this either. It was bad enough when a McCain/Palin supporter recently told a black sound man at an event to, "Sit down, boy". Tensions are already bubbling under the surface with the terrorist connection....

Thanks, elrod!
