Heck no you don’t ignore it. Obama may take back the lead, but it won’t be because McCain didn’t ignore the sexist comment. How many times has a Republican’s words forced him to apologize, resign...just this morning I read that a GOP leader at a college resigned because of something he wrote/said.
The fact that Obama wouldn’t apologize was just red meat for his campaign followers, but won’t fare well with the general public (and that’s who this election is all about at this point.)
True my uncle and aunt(democrat) said this was the last straw for odumbo
