Interestingly, the national news media has yet to delve into the personal problems between Barack Obama and John McCain much, even with the current dust-up over foreign policy so much in the news.  Sadly, in transitioning over to the new platform for DFE, I’ve lost my original article on the subject which includes a few links, but here is an after-the-fact article from the MSM about but one such argument.

The point is, this is going to be a long, hot summer in politics thanks to these two gentlemen’s personal long-standing contempt for one another.  More than that, the contempt has largely centered on McCain’s assertion that Obama was an inexperienced hack, the very same argument he’s now pushing as a campaign platform.

I dunno, I think setting about making your personal gripes the center of your public policy is bad form for anybody, but especially for the known hothead that is John McCain.  As for Obama, we’ve seen a fire and an aggression out of him in the last week that was previously unknown in the Democratic debates.  It will make for great theatre, but how long before this argument divorces itself from the reality of the issues facing our nation?

I’m sure the media is working on that angle right now.
