So, McCain handpicks a guy to run the GOP convention
and he turns out to be a lobbyist for Myanmar, the world's most despised junta. Does this get the 24/7 cable news treatment, or do we still need to dwell on Obama sort of knows a guy who used to be a 60s radical.
If this double standard continues, we could have a big problem in the fall. (I am not optimistic)

3. And Rev. Wright is no longer
the Pastor at Obama's Church and he barely nows Ayers the 60s Weatherman. His resignation is immaterial.
