I am not particularly tall, and have no problem with short people as one side of my family were quite short. McCain will, nevertheless, have a problem when standing next to Obama in a debate. He may structure it so he looks taller. Americans notice such things. It has been evident when Bush walks with shorter leaders from other countries and they seem diminished. It will be interesting to see if my hypothesis is true. Mr. Watson, by the way speaks only in absolutes and a hypothesis never blesses his lips.

...Yup - McCain made a mistake - use the brush. It did not last for 20 years - but - it happened. As I have said - I fear McCain does not have the intellect to make the debate. ... Sorry Bob, you don't get off that easy. As I said, these are the foot soldiers of the Republican Party for 30 years. McCain, at least has the good sense to call them out in 2000. He's flip-flopped on that today. Everyone attacking Obama for Wright has not the courage to look in the mirror and see the hypocrisy for what it is.
