News flash: when you’re getting booed by your own supporters, it’s probably time to pack it in.
Republican anger bubbles up at McCain rally
LAKEVILLE, Minnesota (Reuters) – Republican presidential nominee John McCain was booed at his own rally on Friday as he tried to rein in increasingly raw anger among supporters stunned by Democrat Barack Obama’s lead in the polls.
Speaking in a Minneapolis suburb, McCain — who had escalated character attacks on Obama in recent days — found himself in the unlikely role of defending his rival in the face of sometimes hostile questions from frustrated Republican loyalists.
He drew boos from a crowd packed into a high school gymnasium when he insisted to a skeptical supporter that Obama was a “decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared (of) as president of the United States.”
Then again, when you’re being booed by racists and other assorted right-wing psycho-freaks, at least you can take comfort that you’re probably in the majority of normal, sane human beings.
