First, this really seems like the kind of thing that could destroy his credibility with all those blue collar beer drinkin' Joe Sixpack midwest voters we hear so much about.  I am a huge football fan.  My first reaction wasn't even political.  My first reaction was "That makes no sense.  Mean Joe and Co. weren't even there yet."

If I reacted that way, imagine how Joe Sixpack in PA, OH and MI reacted.  I am pretty sure they remember those Ds.

Second, this is a showcase example for why McCain should be happy everyone is obsessed with Obama.  If he got any iota of attention from the media everyone would know his campaign is like that old NFL Films about the 0-16 Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  I really think we should all be talking about how truly awful a campaign he is running and how pathetic a candidate he is.  It is the most underreported story in politics.

Think about this.  Obama just had a wildly succesful meeting with the leaders of Iraq and Afghanistan.  While those meetings were occuring, McCain was getting humiliated by Meredith Viera.  And we should vote for McCain because he is going to be so much better with foriegn leaders?  Either I am waaaaaay underestimating Meredith Viera are we are being sold a bill of goods here.
