The MSM continues to believe and promote the lie - apparently truth is no defense. Still, McCain needs to bash Obama for raising phony charges of racism to cover up his campaign’s ugly use of sexism agains Palin and ageism against him.
You are right, of course, but it may be too late for that to have a measurable impact.
It appears we may be outnumbered but for the independents.
My recommendation would be that McCain present in the closing days a “Newt-type” contract for America.
One of my complaints with the GOP is that it has not made such a Contract a permanent feature.
