Bombs Away!
Carter made an apt analogy Friday about the presidential race: It’s the fourth quarter, John McCain is two touchdowns behind and he has to score.
The race is not over. But if McCain doesn’t change the momentum in the next two weeks, it will be over.
So, once again, Mad Bomber McCain has turned the campaign over to his wing woman, Sarah Palin. Her latest strafing run ties Obama to William Ayers, the Weather Underground bomber.
In last week’s debate Palin chided Joe Biden for wanting to talk about the past instead of the future. That apparently is past.
