Another proud moment in the McCain campaign

This isn't racial at all. True, the Obama campaign has no actual ties to Frank Raines, the disgraced former head of Fannie Mae. And true, Raines does happen to be black. And it's true, but of course merely a coincidence, that many Americans who lost their mortgages probably just happened to be sympathetic-looking older white women.

But if you think it's racial, that's just a sign of how badly your own molecules have flagged. John McCain is a man of integrity!
