78. This is the one case where the POW excuse *would work*.
Remember, at least 40% of this country is going for McCain, no matter what. This stunt will piss off many swing voters because of the way the MSM will portray it.

After all, Obama's fist bump was called a "terrorist fist jab" for no apparent reason. Don't you think the MSM will play up the POW angle on this stunt, when it actually seems conceivable that mocking his PTSD was the intent, even though it actually wasn't?

Like I said, Biden's remark on the "seven kitchens" was brilliant, and that's the kind of attack we need -- something that can only be viewed as portraying McCain as out of touch. The MSM is already against us, and we don't need to give them more ammo with the keys stunt.

And I don't think McCain's aversion to jangling keys will make anybody question his fitness. After all, Bush's severe stupidity and lack of curiosity sure didn't stop him from becoming successful.
