Cracked Window

I’m at the gym today, listening to the Avett Brothers‘ CD Emotionalism as I pant and sweat. CNN is on the TV several feet away. I vow not to read the closed-caption transcription of John McCain’s speech and look away. But my eyes betray me.

McCain excoriates Barack Obama for not supporting the surge and brands him as an opponent of “victory.”

First thought: Karl Rove is playing a larger advisory role in the McCain campaign than reported.
