Apologies for stepping in on your comment to ratbastid...
I agree with the idea of building a myth to gain the minds of at least 51%... but I've yet to see McCain promote racially based propaganda. Not to say it will never happen... we've seen unfortunate gaffs by misguided surrogates or enthusiastic supporters on both sides. Who's to say that their motivation was encouraged or not, but it will be hard to pin racial attacks directly on the McCain campaign. This is an area where Obama may take caution when citing not looking like other candidates. The conservative pundits and operatives are ready to pounce.
