Wat an ugly couple of weeks:

Let's see, what has McCain (or his campaign) asserted recently:

1. That Obama would lose a war in order to get elected president.
2. That Obama gave wounded troops the cold shoulder.
3. That during his tour of Iraq Obama was goofing around playing basketball instead of meeting with the troops.
4. That Obama is a vapid celebrity like Paris Hilton.
5. That Obama is an elitist who eats "chocolate roasted-peanut protein bars" and drinks fancy-schmancy iced tea.
6. That Obama is playing the race card, just like Johnnie Cochran.

That's pretty intense. In any event, item 1 on the list should have been a campaign killer (and it was said by McCain himself four times). To have the candidate of one major party accuse the other candidate of choosing to lose a war in order to get elected is basically a charge of treason.
