So why isn’t Obama romping? The obvious answer — and both the excessively genteel Obama campaign and a too-compliant press bear responsibility for it — is that the public doesn’t know who on earth John McCain is. LMAO!

Obama has run just as many negative ads as McCain has -- the liberal just refuses to level the accusation. Obama, not McCain, played the race card. Obama, not McCain, has referred to his opponent as "ignorant". Obama's two ads, "Original", and "Pocket", both are negative ads, and both contained lies against McCain. Genteel my ass.

Most Americans still don’t know, as Marshall writes, that on the campaign trail “McCain frequently forgets key elements of policies, gets countries’ names wrong, forgets things he’s said only hours or days before and is frequently just confused.” Most Americans still don’t know it is precisely for this reason that the McCain campaign has now shut down the press’s previously unfettered access to the candidate on the Straight Talk Express. I know Obama wants to run a clean campaign but McCain's lapses in memory have to get out there. The guy is senile or close to it. We can't have a leader in that mental state.
