Fred Barnes has gaydar

I almost forgot to post this one - it's from Fox News Sunday last weekend. Take a quick listen as Fred Barnes asserts that John McCain ought to flog [my word] Barack Obama over the issue of gays, both in marriage and in the military.

I just don't think it will wash - this isn't 1992. Times have changed, and McCain ought to be smart enough to realize that if he tries to gay the electorate to death, it will backfire on him, BIG.

God help me, I have to agree with the insipid William Kristol from the footage above - Obama does look more presidential. I've often despised that characterization in American politics because I always thought it was an oversimplification of a candidate's credentials (I still do in many ways), but Kristol is right. The more bitter McCain looks and sounds, the better Obama looks and sounds by simply doing nothing.

It's my firm belief that McCain '08 real does = Dole of '96.

GOBAMA.
