Looks like a setup...

What kind of setup?

Hopefully he'll change his mind? Hopefully he'll change his vote!

Well, the obvious setup would be the "he's not actually a muslim" one. But, no way to know.

But, I'd bet McCain's campaign didn't want him to talk, because they benefit so much from the division and fear they have fostered between "real" Americans, and those scary brown (terrorist) ones.

If McCain's supporters knew that he has muslims on his staff, then the only thing driving his candidacy - racism - is dead.

McCain doesn't want his stupid Christian base to be offended by the fact that there are actually Muslims working for the McCain campaign.

^ Or for them to acknowledge that Obama isn't Muslim, or that being Muslim doesn't automatically make you an evil terrorist. If they did, they'd lose half of their voters. They might go to Bob Barr or something.

i would not be surprised if this decision backfires in a similar fashion to mccain's previous suggestion to postpone the first debate. not to compare the two as equally weighted, just in a sort of potential media frenzy

WOOHOO!

First Top 15!

Thank you Daniel Zubairi!

The dumb thing about it is that anyone who really thinks Obama would be Muslim or a terrorist probably doesn't care at this point. They probably overlook the names and only look at the party.

Can the damn McCain campaign do anything right?

Well, I think they could concede the race.

They believe the 'fire in the belly' of their campaign is the right wing bigots (apparently 'the small town real America')

I'm betting the advisor's have said...

If they adopt a rational moderate view... they will deflate the support my their main bigoted base.

They will waste all that support, anger, and mistrust their lies have build up. The right wing lives and thrives on Fear, Uncertainty, and Hate. It's all they have. They need it to spread to win.

To officially say on CNN that Obama ISN'T a muslim, and that muslim's are Americans too? That would be suicide.

dude should quit the campaign and say what he damn likes to CNN, then vote for obama live on TV.
