It shows McCain, having sown the wind, now reaping the whirlwind.  Had he rejected the very people who ran the "McCain has a black baby" smear on him in the Carolinas in 2000 instead of hiring them to run his campaign and had it run against the bailout, the Bush Administration and all of its works and deeds, he might have had a chance.  Now he has to worry about tamping down violence committed on his behalf by some of his crazier supporters.

When he had to contradict a supporter who claimed to be afraid for his unborn child to live in a USA with Obama as President and said that Obama was a decent family man that his supporter didn't have to fear, he was booed by his own supporters.  As you sow so shall you reap.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."

McCain showed he had no dignity whatsoever when he started coddling up to Bush in order to get his foot in for the 2008 nomination.

I think the Bush crowd and Rove gave him the old "you are the standard bearer for all of us and you must do what ever can be done to win" line.  I saw a hint on CounterPunch that he may have gotten bad news from his oncologist.  With the direction and conduct of the campaign, the likely outcome of the election and the probable resultant depression for JSM the prognosis is poor.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.
