Has McCain walked back the draft remark yet?
Because today seems to be all about McCain's houses, but the draft is a major issue. If they don't scale it back, then I take it as McCain wanting to go back to the good old days of the draft.

5. I've already designed the perfect ad in my mind.
It features McCain making bellicose statements, the 100 years in Iraq remark, and the draft comment over the image of a long line of young people being processed into the military. They are each holding draft notices, with DRAFT NOTICE in giant letters clearly visible. And there are girls in the line. Very important to show girls, with at least one being a pretty blond, in the line.

7. Bellicose statements... "I'm sorry to tell you this but there are
going to be other wars" and "These young people that are in this crowd, my friends, I'm going to be asking you to serve". Nuf said. Makes me sick.

2. I say Obama should blindside McCain with it during a debate...
Take this out of the media's hands entirely and ask McCain bluntly what he meant by that in front of a national audience.
