This kind of shit posturing is going to cost McCain a large number of people and respect. He's lost a measure of mine and my wife when I show her in the morning.
It attracts people like Ustwo, and my wife's dad, as it's intended to do since he needs to slide to the right as we move into election mode. But it sloughs off huge chunks of the middle and Gen X and Y'ers--the moving target of voters, btw, who I think will come into force about the time Barak comes into play. The disrepsect isn't even veiled--McCain just alerted me to his asshole side and I had actually thought he was a pretty solid guy, all things considered.
