Chris Hitchens nailed it when he calls McCain despicable and his cohort shameful. I think it's even more despicable that the race is so close. It would be interesting to find out how many of those who lost money and homes voted for Bush in 2004. How many that voted for Bush will vote for him again. Education has nothing to do with it. It's the composite American that supported the Mexican-American War of 1846 but didn't want to annex it to the U.S. because they had such a low opinion of Mexicans.

Surprised that nobody has picked up on the connection between the two. I wonder how that will play out in the debate.
