I was talking to a buddy and he said "How do you think the left would have reacted if Palin would have said Obama was 'like the pot calling the kettle black' on an issue." That made me think that we are in a pretty politically-charged time and all four of these candidates better be pretty darn careful with their wording from here on out.
Is it how I would like the campaigns to be? No, but it's the reality. And any comment with any remote connotation to race or sex should be avoided at all cost. It sucks, but that's the climate we live in right now.
If you don't think the left will be parsing every word by Palin or McCain for a similar "gotcha" over the next two weeks, you are kidding yourself. I could see this really getting unbearable by the time we get to the debates (by this, I mean feigned outrage by both sides at somewhat innocent comments).
