guess the obvious question is, why did John McCain have a person on his campaign staff who has such affinity for a liberal like Obama? How many other of his campaign advisors hold liberals in high regard? Does Mr. McCain have any conservative advisors, or are they all like Mr. McKinnon?
I don't understand why not wanting to run a campaign against Obama necessarily means that he has an affinity to him.
If I choose not to oppose something, it could also mean that I realize that such opposition would leave me worse off than doing nothing.
