For those who feel bad for McCain now that this morass is spiraling out of control, I almost felt sorry for him too and was glad to hear him say the right things...but you shouldn't feel sorry for him. He has sold his soul...apparently Palin never had one to begin with.
The divisive harm he has perpetrated is unforgivable. He's taken a stereotype of middle America and turned it inside out. I am southern; my family comes from Eastern Kentucky and while there are definitely some idiots in my extended family, my grandparents were staunch Democrats who had integrity and humility, and tried to see through the crap to the truth of things. I think I have strong values, stronger than many people I observe around me, and they came from these roots. My grandparents would be deeply, personally offended by these McCain tactics. I am deeply offended because it feels like a slap in the face to the people I know who are being used as pawns - just so McCain can make it to the white house.
Okay...phew. I had to get that off my chest. :)
