The Baltimore Sun Web hed says it all.
I don’t particularly want John McCain to be president. In fact, I don’t want him to be president. But I think the latest smear campaign against him last week in South Carolina — he was smeared when running against Bush in 2000 in South Carolina — is despicable. The person who says McCain sold out his former prisoners of war when he was held by the North Vietnamese says for years he couldn’t get anyone to listen to him. But methinks the timing is a bit suspect.
