McCain's next call

The essence of this election season couldn't be simpler. The American public is so appalled at the condition of the country that it unfairly, but not implausibly, places blame on the now-despised President Bush - that, with fate casting John McCain in the role of Mr. Bush's surrogate, a majority of America is actually considering voting for Sen. Barack Obama. And, when an electorate is intent on doing something, the last thing it wants to hear about are the facts.

Moreover, the public's lack of interest in the facts is facilitated by the major American media's refusal to report them.
