Has McCain Decided to Speak for the McCain Campaign?

In July, a much publicized rift in the McCain campaign over social security and how to fund it for the future, resulted in McCain's campaign experts stating that McCain doesn't speak for the McCain campaign.

Increasingly despondent re: polls, in which Obama is leading and gaining momentum, the McCain campaign recently has become desparate, sending Sarah Palin out to rallies to "give red meat to the base". So she has all but accused Obama of being a terrorist, claiming that he is "palling around with terrorists."

This campaign tactic has lead to (probably) unanticipated psychotic rage on the part of McCain supporters, which has shown up in McCain rallies as increasingly blatant threats against Obama.

Finally, though, McCain might have had enough.

And when openly questioned by supporters about Obama being an Arab or someone, whose presidency was to be feared, McCain confronted the hatred that has been incited in his campaign.

Obama expressed his appreciation for McCain's comments.

So McCain might have decided that he can finally speak for the McCain campaign. We'll see.

Now - back to the issues....
