Posted on a Jake Tappers blog today are comments about the presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama. Tapper's blog had Karl Rove quoted as labeling Senator Obama as "coolly arrogant" and equated him to a guy "at a country club making snide comments about everyone else."
I do not for a single second buy any of Rove's comments, nor do I believe him to be a credible source of information. In the coming months, it is very possible that we will see this campaign shift toward an increasingly negative direction. Race will undoubtedly be an issue.
Another article had John McCain quoted as having no tolerance for any sort of racism during this campaign. This I do believe. Senator McCain is a man of dignity. This, however, cannot be said for some of the people who want him to win. There have already been instances of racist advertisement during the primary season in North Carolina, Texas and South Dakota. It should be noted that McCain and other Republicans have denounced this behavior.
I encourage everyone to keep an eye open and their minds turned on the messages being portrayed throughout the rest of this Presidential campaign season. There will be many excellent messages with many valid points; there will also be information fit for the trash can. Be critical of what you hear.
