Notice what McCain is trying to pull off here with Obama and sports?
"McCain told several hundred people standing in a cavernous warehouse:
"Now, I'm not dumb enough to get mixed up in a World Series between swing states. But I think I may have detected a little pattern with Sen. Obama. It's pretty simple really. When he's campaigning in Philadelphia, he roots for the Phillies, and when he's campaigning in Tampa Bay, he `shows love' to the Rays."
As a chorus of boos built, he added:"It's kind of like the way he campaigns on tax cuts, but then votes for tax increases after he's elected. Or the way he says he backs the middle class and then goes and attacks Joe the Plumber after Sen. Obama's asked a tough question. What's that all about?"
In fact, Obama did not attack Joe the Plumber; rather he criticized McCain for suggesting that the Ohio plumber who wants to purchase the plumbing business where he works is in the same economic shape as most working class voters.
McCain's reference to Obama's comments about the two baseball teams was meant to reinforce one of his larger themes: that Obama lacks the experience and character to be president.

McCain will stoop to anything, but I have to ask, does he think everyone in his audience has an IQ under 90?
(like his comments below might lead someone to think about him)
Ok, Ok, I am not being politically correct, but this is a war, not an election, a war from within, and one we have to win.. No Trojan Horse for America, Vote Obama!
(see post on Trojan Horse Sarah Palin below..)
I think he is insulting to his crowds. But look, he is plain insulting, period. He shows little self restraint.

Maverick defined
An unbranded range animal, especially a calf that has become separated from its mother, traditionally considered the property of the first person who brands it.
One that refuses to abide by the dictates of or resists adherence to a group; a dissenter.
I think the first definition fits..Ok, have a nice day..counting down now, remember this is a most important election, more than an election, our survival depends on getting Republicans out of office and staying involved in voting on every level.
