But someone should call him out.
From TPM Reader KB …
Josh, I agree with your reader email that it is almost impossible at this point for Obama himself to call out McCain on playing the race card. But that doesn’t mean an outsider can’t call out McCain. Imagine if a respected, non-partisan, friend-of-McCain went public with concerns about the images in McCain’s advertising. One wonders what Colin and Alma Powell think of the images in the McCain ad and the racial subtext to them. A Powell rebuke would be powerful and debilitating to the McCain campaign. It would change the game.
