Now: Cocaine

By The Daily Dish

Oct 9 2008, 10:12 AM ET

Money quote from an aide to McCain on McCain surrogate's bringing up past drug use:

"We didn’t ask him to do it. He didn’t clear it with us, but obviously he’s read Senator Obama’s books.”

This election really is a classic battle between fear and hope. All Palin and McCain are offering right now is more fear: fear of a black man, fear of terrorism, fear of the other, fear of Iran, fear of the future, fear of Islam, fear of the truth. And above all: fear of defeat. On that last one, they're rational. Which side are you on?
