He can say whatever he wants, afterall NOBAMA’s doing the same thing. Just as long as NOBAMA doesn’t win in Nov.
This sort of thinking is precisely what emboldens people like McCain to do these sorts of things in the first place. He knows good and well that he can do anything he wants to us (even if everything he does is exactly what the other guy is doing) simply because most of us will vote for him anyway purely because he doesn't have the letter D in front of his name on C-SPAN.
It's disturbing, really.
