True enough.

I don't think John McCain has anything to fear from the judgement of
history.

But the way his followers reacted may be puzzling to future
generations. And I suspect the "easy" answer, which is simplistic,
would be to suspect the worst and blame it on race.

In actual fact, I suspect it's mostly just hyper-partisanship.
Hopefully history will understand that about us.
Still, it seems very highly unsportsmanlike.

It has to be said that Bush, who entered office promising to be a
uniter, not a divider, didn't really run into angry liberal opposition
until quite a ways into his term. You'll recall his approval rating
was up near 90% at one point. There had to be a lot of Democrats in
that 90%, or it couldn't have been 90%.

Hopefully, even those who disagree with Obama will at least give him a
chance to disprove (or prove) the claims made that he's some sort of
dangerous radical. Coming up in Chicago politics does mean schmoozing
with some questionable people, but this does not equal agreeing with
their outlooks. I firmly believe that characterization is grossly
incorrect and based on a lot of misinformation, rumor, and bias.
