Perfect, then. While all Americans of intellect and maturity should deplore and reject the lowball, frankly juevnile tactics employed by McCain of late ... they have, of course, worked. Obama has lost his lead and the race is, at this moment, a statistical tie in many polls. I think the lessons of Kerry's Swiftboating remain clear, and Obama has got to go on the counterattack.

If you need a VP to deal with that kind of campaign, Biden's indeed a good choice. I hope he savages McCain on a daily basis, and makes such interesting (and typically offensive) comments as will make news often.


It's a shame the VP choice has to come down to who can be the election attack dog rather than who should be a heartbeat from the presidency, but McCain took us down this well-trodden road ... and damn him for that.
