According to these accounts, McCain, whose A4-E Skyhawk was queued

Have you seen the video? Look at it and you will see the engine was
pointed over the side, not aimed at the plane that dropped the
missile.
I suppose "swiftboating' is fair play but there is too much video and
official reporting to get much traction here.
You know what? I don't really care if McCain is "victimized" by
swiftboating. His campaign the last few weeks has been absolutely
disgusting. I lost my respect for him when he picked that bimbo as his
running mate. McCain deserves to lose the election big time.
How many said no to Obama before he scraped the bottom of the barrel
with Biden? Why would Biden sign on with a candidate who he sateted
publicly was wholly unqualified to be president?
There you go again, demonstrating your stupidity.
The Obama team seriously vetted a half dozen possibilities, and I mean
seriously. Months were spent going over resumes and background checks.
Biden was the first and only choice. Biden is qualified to step in if
Obama is killed by one your your right-wing nutcases and run the
government properly. His disagreements with Obama during the primary
season were exactly the kinds of disgreements primary candidates have
with each other.
Your boy McCain wanted Tailgunner Joe as his running mate. Lieberman was
as well-qualified as Biden to be VEEP, and no one would have seriously
questioned the quality of that choice *except* the right-wing red meat
boys who would have bolted. McCain had to pass on his first choice.
So your boy McCain chose a woman he had met once for a few minutes and
talked to on the phone a few times. Sarah Palin is not qualified to step
in as president if McCain dies suddenly.
As it turned out, Obama chose wisely. Your boy McCain chose poorly. Ms.
Palin is so empty-headed the McCain campaign cannot risk putting her out
in front of the national media for a news conference. And even worse,
just like McCain, she has ethical problems.
