i have to say that i'm surprised that mc-cain's campaign headed in this personality-driven direction because it requires not only that they control the direction of debate, but also that they control the terms. in this case, there's the "elitism" motif that can be appealed to--it's already implicit in ace's post earlier--a president "of the people" is, apparently, a strange idea since it is the republicans who would arrogate to themselves the prerogative of determining who "the people" are. and the campaign puts itself in the position of having to make that stick, too, otherwise they land in no-win exchanges like this.
very strange.
the campaign must have felt that they had no options.
this seems like scorched earth...
