BETSY: While McCain's liberal critics are sick of his talking about his POW experiences and have accused him of playing the POW card as a get-out-of-political-jams free card in order to score political points, he and his campaign seem strangely reluctant to use it here when it seems perfectly legitimate. Can't you just imagine the powerful spot they could make as they have one of his POW buddies look into the camera and say "Senator Obama is ridiculing John McCain for not sending emails. Perhaps Obama doesn't know that, as a result of torture he endured as a POW, torture that I witnessed, John McCain suffers pain when he tries to type on a keyboard." And then they could bring in his telecommunications background. So I'm wondering more about the dog that didn't bark. Why aren't the McCain folk all over this? Perhaps they don't want to bring up his injuries and give people the idea that he is handicapped. Perhaps the injuries aren't the reason he isn't using email. Maybe he just prefers talking to people on the telephone. Maybe he is as computer illiterate as he describes himself. Perhaps they just don't want to get off track with their real message, although they were certainly ready to jump on all htat manufactured outrage over the lipstick on a pig comment. Maybe they're waiting, having figured that people will be paying attention to the hurricane news and they can slap Obama back when they want. Maybe it's all those Rovian shenanigans forcing the Obama team to ridicule McCain over his computer illiteracy and then moving in with a stingray missile of a response. I figure that there must be some explanation since the McCain campaign hasn't been hesitant about playing tough in other instances. I just don't know what it is. betsyspage.blogspot.com
