McCain's accusation about Obama's willingness to lose the war to get elected.

[Rich]

Being an Obama supporter, I am surely not an unbiased observer of the MaCain campaign. So I would be curious to know whether an undecided voter or a McCain supporter would feel that McCain's response to a question about his charge that Obama would rather lose a war to win a campaign really came anywhere near answering the question of whether he was impugning Obama's patriotism. It seemed to me he was doing his best to leave that impression without having the guts to come out and say it. The interview tape is here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25838127#25838127

Note: I readily admit that Obama also "answers" questions by saying what he wants to say rather than giving a direct answer. But I don't think he has done anything comparable to accusing someone of putting his election over the interests of the country.
