"Sit down, boy"

VP FAIL

With their campaign sinking amid the worst economic crists since the Great Depression that, despite their furious spinning, voters seem to be blaming the Republicans for and no more traction from the Palin selection to be had, the McCain-Palin ticket's strategy for the last month in the campaign seems to be "How Low Can We Go"? No bottom is too low for these two, apparently:

"McCain calls Obama a liar, faults his Chicago ties"

"Palin criticizes Obama's ties to Wright, Ayers"

"Character attacks emerge in McCain-Obama race"

As can be expected, when John "Maverick" McCain and Sarah "No Press Interviews Please" Palin start feeding the dog-whistle racism and ugly rhetoric to their base, who could ever imagine the ignorant racist oafs in their audiences would show their true faces?

"...Palin's routine attacks on the media have begun to spill into ugliness. In Clearwater, arriving reporters were greeted with shouts and taunts by the crowd of about 3,000. Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media." At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy."

"Sit down, boy"

There, in a nutshell, is the McCain-Palin strategy from here until Nov. 4.
