Believe it or not, for most of the to-the-right-of-the-far-Left Americans, the fact that Obama's mentor of 20 years hates and damns America is far more important in deciding whether Obama should be made Commander-in-Chief than than the fact that McCain may have pissed them off about this or that other issue.
Your own mileage may vary.
By the time McCain faces the death of a thousand smear attempts, he will be doing well to equal Dole’s performance.
