Did you see the old McCain?

John McCain is back. At least the John McCain I remember seemed to get his shit together this week.

Long before he threw his hat in the ring for president, I always held some admiration for McCain in the sense that he always seemed to be his own man. I felt he had an air of honor about him that was lately nonexistant and, he was once a beath of fresh air in Washington politics. But the antics of scare tactics, lies, and general garbage coming out of his campaign have been a major disappointment to me.

Yesterday he corrected his some of his supporters when they blasted the character of Obama. It just goes to show you where the scare tactics of campaign workers can lead. The one that really struck me was the lady who stood up at a rally in Minnesota and told McCain she was afraid of Obama because he was an Arab.

McCain told his audience that was wrong and, people did not need to fear Obama because he was a good and decent man. That was the old McCain I remember, telling people the facts.

I am still not going to vote for him. The damage has been done. He too easily slid his honorable personna to the side and let his campaign managers and sleazy party workers run his game and campaign. But I was glad to finally see him shake his head and attempt to dispell the garbage that has been spewing out of his own campaign.

I have to wonder what impact that had on the generators of all of the scare garbage inside his campaign.
