Krazny says: If Obama sleeps with a teddy bear and a night light, does that mean McCain sleeps with depends a tube of icy hot?

The AFL-CIO came out with a fantastic mailer related to the subject with the tag: "John McCain wants to gamble with our social security. . ." Flip the card and it says: "He can affordit. We can't." It’s a fitting simile to what the Republicans and McCain’s camp plan for Social Security.

Why are Republicans so driven by hate. I wonder how those pictures will play down in Florida or over in Arizona. Even Joe Klein thinks that McCain needs to better control his campaign as he seems to think that McCain is better than his sick campaign. I just think that Klein really doesn't know McCain very well; only the PR image of McCain. McCain's own words show him to be a bitter and callous old man with delusions about power. Such bitterness.
