The race, according to McCain

No subtlety left behind:

"Do the American people want to elect the world’s biggest celebrity or do they want to elect an American hero?" -- Steve Schmidt, McCain Campaign Co-Manager (July 30, 2007)

John McCain's war service was heroic.

It is now clear, however, that the man is no longer any sort of hero. He had the opportunity to run a clean campaign, and he chose not to.

He has dishonored his own name.
