ah - see McCain taking my advice of turning Obama's celebrity and inclinations towards the grandiose into manifestations of a character flaw. It's the only way to get at a slick performer such as Obama - change the game. Also helps that it's, as far as I'm concerned, a charge that's true

Related, in classic Obama fashion, in response to above, see his minions are floating meme that calling their master arrogant is a polite way of calling him an uppity negro - in other words: he can't possibly have any charcter flaws because to suggest he has character flaws is to be a racist. They used this strategy against Hillary and, because of the partisan nature of the primaries, she couldn't effectively fight back agaiinst it. One always thought though that in the general election, with McCain obviously unconstrained by left wing inhibitions, that such a tactic would not only be of questionable value but might actually work to the opposite intended effect. That seems to have happened as McCain pushed back hard against the suggestion of racism and Obama camp came off looking weak.
