An interesting post to the National Review's "Corner" blog mentions the challenge right now with Obama, in that nearly every challenge or question presented to his candidacy is derided on the basis of being racist/insensitive. As this post suggests, Clinton is even being out-Clintoned by all this!
Perhaps, VDH suggests, McCain may be a proper antidote to some of this:
"McCain may become a proper antidote for all this. Unlike the verbose Michelle Obama, he really has suffered in his life; unlike Barack Obama he really has reached across the aisle and paid a price for it; and unlike Obama's promises of transparency, he really does talk in specifics and bluntly rather than in mellifluous platitudes. And as for an against-the-odds candicacy, in postmodern America a 71-year-old survivor of communist torture and malignant melonoma seems to match the narrative of a young Ivy-League graduate of mixed ancestry."
