At that point, my wife shouted at the TV, "You could have not run a dirty campaign and not chosen that bimbo Palin." I couldn't agree more. After the convention, McCain ran a campaign that was so politically tone deaf that one has to question his mental faculties. Even when trying to soften his image, he tripped himself up. Remember the lady who approached him on stage, stating that she was afraid of Obama because he was an Arab? And McCain's response? "No, ma'am, he's a decent family man". Since when is being a decent family man the antithesis of being an Arab? Tone deaf.
