Does anyone know McCain's history on fighting against MLK holiday?
Maybe a link if you have one available.

Perhaps this could be a big attack point.

1. two topics best left undiscussed; the less said the better:
1) race

2) McCain's military 'service'

surefire losers

4. anything to do with race can only hurt Obama with the ignorant, racially suppressing swing voters.
they don't need to be reminded of any racial issue, because it doesn't help Obama with white people, sad to say

I know all that stuff about how he contradicted himself over MLK, but it only helps 'scare whitey' whenever the subject of race comes up

it's sad, but it's true

and AFA his military service, just ask Wes Clark what happens if you dare to broach the subject. his bud Barack really stood by him, didn't he?

5. It's not going away, even if we all wish it would. So we might as
well deal with it.

I agree about the military service; that's not where Obama wants to go.

6. My fervent hope is that much of it will go away if he gets elected....I dream of the

day when everybody looks like coffee with cream, but the election cycle isn't time to deal with it....it's just bad politics. there are myriad other topics to concentrate upon, and McCain provides the ammunition with his voluminous video library. I've spent hours looking at what's just on youtube, and Obama's entire ad campaign could be based on clips they can get there for FREE. have you done that at all? it's amazing

Scared, ignorant whiteys will find, 'amazingly,' that he's not a bogeyman, and the fact that he's black will become meaningless as he tries to deal with the hell that the pugs have left this country.

look what you get when you type in 'mccain crazy' at youtube

548 clips, just for that!
