 RC> I did catch one important sound bite..

 RC> McCain told Obama that he wasnt Bush and that if he wanted

 RC> How appropriate.

 What would have been appropriate would have been for McCain to
 run against Bush in 2004. Instead McCain litterally embraced
 Bush.

 Bush won the nomination by smearing McCain's military record and
 his family. Then Bush took us into a war on the basis of lies,
 that were known to be lied by the election of 2004.

 Yet McCain still supported Bush. McCain sold his soul for a
 chance at the Whitehouse.

 Most of the over 4000 American service men and women who have
 died in Iraq died after the 2004 election. We will never know
 how many would not have died had Bush lost that election,
 whether to Obama or to McCain. We do know McCain has said he
 consistently opposed Bush's conduct of the war. If he did, but
 didn't oppose Bush for reelection, then McCain can share the
 blame for those deaths. He would have had a hard time doing
 worse in running the war.
