Because we have a candidate who wants to be the first woman president ahead of Hillary.

McCain is a lousy bastard of a candidate, but the chick-like behavior is emanating from those that are pushing the purely emotional attack of emphasizing Obama's middle name. There is no substance or logic, no rational argument, just "ooga booga! Scary name! HUSSEIN!! Like Sadaam!!! His dad was muslim!!! Oooga booga!" Even if those were valid points, they are obvious and need not be stated. The folks that have that concern are not voting for him anyway.

Does the name Hillary Rodham Clinton ring a bell? Or Franklin Delano Roosevelt? Jesse Lee Peterson? Martin Luther King? Ronald Wilson Reagan? William Jefferson Clinton?

You exaggerate this so much that I can't even recognize the situation. No one is pushing for a purely emotional attack emphasizing Hussein's middle name. No! A talk show host guy was warming up the crowd and called Mr. Untouchable -- gasp! -- Barak Hussein Obama. That is his full legal name. It's also funny and great for warming up the political opposition. So what! No one is suggesting McCain address Mr. Untouchable as Hussein in the Senate any more than they think he should call Hillary The Pantsuit. But let us have a little harmless fun at appropriate times.

Also, calling him a hack was perfectly legitimate as well. It is a far cry better than the names McCain uses against Republicans (F-word, A-word, etc.).

McCain is girly and waaaaay too sensitive for poltiics. He should take up ballet or something.
