Sounds like some elements of the sexist, racist, ageist Democratic Party of the "No White Male", are worried about a RINO. But he is our RINO...

The Nation -- Liberal smarties and sophisticates are having fun mocking John McCain , but assuming he gets the nomination, he will a formidable candidate. He may look like a grumpy old man -- specifically, as my friend Kathleen Geier joked, the grumpy old man who yells at kids to get off his lawn -- or the nutty old uncle who rags on everyone at Thanksgiving before passing out in front of the football game. But that's another way of saying McCain is a familiar, indeed family, character. It does not require an imaginative stretch to get John McCain. How many voters know someone like Barack Obama?
McCain is white, male, patriarchal, a war hero with decades in the Senate. So what if he's old? In politics old can be good ( for men), especially to the older voters -- older white voters -- who dominate the polls. Besides, McCain's not so old that he couldn't get himself a much younger trophy wife, and even if Cindy McCain looks brittle and unhappy and like she hasn't eaten in a decade, she is always there by his side, a visual reminder of his manly prowess. McCain is brash and sly and seemingly unguarded, unlike the famously self-protective Hillary Clinton, and he loves to schmooze with reporters, who adore him and like most of the rest of America, refuse to see how conservative he is. It's like they're saying, Oh go on, Uncle John! you're just saying you love Sam Alito to get me riled up!
Obama v. McCain could be change/youth/black/exciting/internationalist against experience/maturity/white/steady/superpatriot. Put that way, it could come down to how many white male Democrats, who might vote for Hillary, won't vote for a black man, let alone one whose middle name is Hussein.

Katha Pollit may be stupid, but she’s still a beeyatch.
Reader’s Digest version: “If you don’t vote for Bareback YoMama, you’re racist.”
If they are liberals they deserve a ragging. If they liberals with at least some redeeming value they serve plenty of Jack Daniels....nuff said.
It is difficult to be interested in a match up like this. But there is some truth here. I am certain that there are many older Dem voters who have never voted for a Republican before & who will never vote for a black guy.
It all depends which Obama you are referring to.
The marxist who believes government can do no wrong and capitalism can do no right. Nope, I've been away from academe too long to know anybody like that.
The corrupt, venal politician who delivers vapid, gaseous speeches? Nope, don't know anybody like that, either.
The man whose wife has led a life a privilege and hates America? Nope, can't say as I know anybody like that.
The vain empty suit who, with no real accomplishments, thinks he can lead our nation? Nah.
Yeah, I talked to a big liberal at my church and he said he’ll vote for McCain because he can’t vote for a ni##er. Actually said that. And I thought the Democrat Party was the party of diversity and tolerance?
And if you don’t vote for Hillary-— your a sexist.
If you don’t vote for Obama you’re racist, if you don’t vote for Hillary you’re sexist, but if you vote for McCain you’re a liberal RINO.
Such a choice this election.
It is weird. Maybe there are enough of those people around to cancel out the "conservatives" who will be writing in Fred Thompson's name?
Yes, a very sad group of candidates to say the least.
“Obama is Huckabee with a suntan...”
LOL!
What a lame hit piece on McCain, and I don't even remotely like the guy.
At the exclusion of everybody else. Of course, it's called "diversity"--- not sexism, racism or ageism.
“I thought the Democrat Party was the party of diversity and tolerance?”
As long as their constituent minority groups stay on the Democrat plantation.
Democrat leadership are the most racist group in America.
I swear, “progressive” democrats would be patting themselves on the back if they had idi amin running.
“Who cares what his policies or personality is like? He has a dark pigment!”
