David, McCain, right or wrong, has been given credit for the 'surge' -- and the results of the surge have allowed for a higher approval rating of the war in a very long time. And unlike Obama, McCain doesn't have to explain why until Friday he had in his campaign a racist, hate-mongerer who married him, baptized his kids, spent 20 years as his preacher, was a trusted advisor and recipient of over $20K in funds, and who provided the title of his book. I think a lot of the moderate whites who had given Obama the benefit of the doubt are seriously re-thinking their support, especially after Obama claimed he didn't know about the lion-share of Rev. Wright's statements even though the rest of the world apparently did.
