This is not exactly one of my more conceptually-sophisticated numbers -- I was frantically trying to get my book in to the printer the night before -- but it does the basic job of promulgating the fact that McCain actually sought the endorsement of, and personally appeared with, an obscenely bigoted Rapture Right nutbar. Meanwhile, Obama gets hammered by Tim Russert over an endorsement by Louis Farrakhan he did not want, and adamantly deplores.

See, this is why I don't feel very good about the way things are heading. Even though the country rejects most of what McCain stands for, he's still going to claim the mantle of "The Normal" and paint Obama as "The Other" through both his campaign underlings and his Big Stupid Media helpers. I've been troubled by the irrational exuberance among many Dems that the tide has turned, and we're going to win in a cakewalk. This ain't going to be a cakewalk, whether the nominee is Obama or Hillary.
