The very small snippets you see on tv aren't the McCain I saw in Indianapolis in February. I think when you see him in a live, town hall setting, you'll see that not only is he engaging, he can think on his feet, and without scripts.

He has nothing to apologize for. He hasn't diminished anything no matter what OMFG-I-m-so-offended-and-victimized-Allah wants us to believe. Obama's seal on the other hand is insane. I do think it has to do with his cult of personality. I don't know if this McCain's ad is the best response, but it's not bad and it's a legitimate issue to raise.

This has been a pattern since Harkin, probably before. I have no doubt personally that it's a coordinated effort to turn McCain's strengths into weaknesses in the old Begala-Carville mode. Obama's not bringing us a new kind of politics; this, if anything, is a few steps backward.
