This latest dust up over Wes Clark's comments has deteriorated to the point where the McCain campaign appears to be lashing out at anyone who has anything critical to say about their candidate.  I think the McCain campaign is overplaying their hand, and this creates an opening for the Obama campaign.  His surrogates need to start emphasizing how cool headed Obama is.  How he's taken everything Clinton and McCain have thrown at him in stride.  And how, in contrast, McCain is thin skinned, short tempered, hot headed.  Even McCain's friends know he's got a problem keeping his temper in check.  And the press, much as they love McCain, know this too.  So Obama's campaign needs to turn this around and start baiting McCain by saying he's overreacting and suggesting that he's termperamentally unsuited to be president.  This puts McCain in a no win situation -- he either pulls back and reinforces the impression that this was all manufactured outrage, or he escalates, and reinforces the Democratic argument that he's too hot headed to trust in the Oval Office.
