Obama, In The Hour of the Wolf



It is not inconceivable that we overestimate the formidable political powers of Senator John McCain -- he, of the "Gang of 14" -- or perhaps we underestimate the thus-far-flawless campaign of the ultra-charismatic Barack Obama -- the new JFK-- but we think, seriously, that this new phase in the "Methed-up" campaign cycle that has brought these two Titans toe-to-toe against each other could .. seriously .. damage .. someone. But who? From HuffPo:

"As we write this, a fresh, still-steaming smear has been dumped on Barack Obama over at The Drudge Report.

"A giant headline - almost as big as our computers' monitors - screams, 'MCCAIN AIDE: 'OBAMA WOULDN'T KNOW DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN RPG AND A BONG',' linking (as Drudge so often does) to a post at Politico.


"(Obama's spokesman replied, 'America doesn't need juvenile name-calling from Washington, we need a commitment to end this war and bring our brave troops home.'...)

So they're going to try out the old 'conservatives are strong on national security' nonsense narrative, even after pushing George Bush on the American public?" (HuffPo)
