American Americans

I think we have the narratives for the general election pretty well sorted out at this point: Barack Obama is an empty suit who attends an angry angry black church and John McCain is a heroic warrior who will protect us from danger. McCain's latest ad and his campaign tour to "reintroduce" us to his story of Vietnam capture and heroism will only get more focused as we get closer to November--if that's even possible. Looks like we need at least one more election obsessing over what a candidate did in the 60s before America gets it out of its system.
