Yesterday Solon had a post acknowledging this moment. Here it is, condensed.
Harrogate admits to having lost a lot more objectivity than he would have liked, at this point. Part of him really, really wants to applaud McCain's effort here; there is something very, very frightening being let loose at this point in the election, and it is good to see McCain arguing with it here. But at the same time, Harrogate cannot escape the feeling that McCain is fundamentally unserious about diffusing this ugliness.
If he was serious about dampening down these dangerous Rhetorics of the Scary Other, would McCain have Really picked Sarah Palin as his running mate?
