John McCain’s campaign seems to be run by drunken lemurs.  That of course is just speculation by an ameteur and I get all my news from Keith Olbermann, John Stewart, and Fark.com.  However, it lurches from tactic to tactic, never sticking with one for very long.  Even when they stick with one, hurling negative attacks, they jump from attack (Ayers) to attack (ACORN) and I swear they are just trying to get Obama to respond in a way that they can put it in an ad next week. It wouldn’t surprise me if some surrogate this weekend says something about Obama taking a couple days off to spend with his grandmother.  McCain won’t say it and neither will Pailin but just someone will and then they’ll use whatever Obama says back against him.

But it won’t work.  Obama is not the sort of guy who takes the bait.  He hasn’t risen to any baiting so far that I know.  He just remains resolute and dare I say it, Presidential.  He by all appearances wants to lead, not get down in the mud and scrap.  So GoBama!

I think it comes down to being a black man trying to suceed in a white world.  I remember reading about Jackie Robinson when I was a kid.  I remember the part where Branch Rickey told him that he would not be able to respond the way he wants to to people trying to get a rise out of him.  Jackie Robinson had to be above it all or he would never make it.  They say both women and African Americans have to be twice as good as the next guy.  Obama went to Colombia, he went to Harvard Law and was the first African American to edit the Harvard Law Review, and now he is the first African American nominated by a major party in the presidential election.  I think he knows a thing or two about being twice as good and leaving his ego at the door.  He is certainly not going to let some cranky old man who thinks it’s his turn to be president ruin this run.  McCain however, seems to be trying real hard to provoke a man just so he can bring him down.
