I saw today that McCain was at a rally here in the great state of Minnesota (actual greatness entirely open to debate) and some old woman came up and made some statement about Obama referring to him as an "Arab" and how she distrusted him, and McCain promptly shook his head, stopped her there, and stated that Obama is in fact a respectable family man who he happens to have disagreements with on political fronts. It was the first respectable thing I've heard out of McCain's mouth in God knows how long, and it was basically the death knell of his campaign.
The last chance the Republicans had was to attempt to basically slander Obama's personal decisions and character, which is what Palin's been doing for the last week or so as she's been out essentially rabble-rousing in various key states. (Where the "kill him" and "terrorist" yells were coming in from the crowds, with no negative response, other than a reassuring grin from Palin.) It was frankly frightening to read about the tone of those crowds and the nature of the "rallies".
The look on McCain's face today looked like an old man who was tired of jumping through these hoops making every last-ditch attempt to get back in the election. What saddened me was when he defended Obama today, it seemed to be the first glimpse in a very long time of the middle of the road politician I respected 8 years ago as he ran against Dubya. He basically sold his soul to the GOP to get this nomination, and he just looks drained from the campaign trail and the way it's led him up to this point.
The dedication you show to any particular console or company is inversely proportional to the number of times you have gotten laid. If you get laid enough, even if you prefer a certain brand, you just don't give enough of a shit to argue about it on the internet.
