This exchange between Obama and McCain [1] was also noted at The New York Time's Caucus blog [2] :
So Obama crossed over into enemy territory.
He walked over to where McCain was chatting with Republican Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida and Independent Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut. And he stretched out his arm and offered his hand to McCain.
McCain shook it, but with a “go away” look that no one could miss. He tried his best not to even look at Obama.
Finally, with a tight smile, McCain managed a greeting: “Good to see you.”
Obama got the message. He shook hands with Martinez and Lieberman — both of whom greeted him more warmly — and quickly beat a retreat back to the Democratic side.
McCain deserves to have his nose wiped on the floor with a massive Obama landslide. Comeuppance. It's a thought that has been on my mind for the past few weeks whenever McCain is the topic.
It's like we're trapped in a modern mashup version of the "Magnificent Ambersons [3]" and "Citizen Kane [4]". McCain needs some serious comeuppance because if he is a great man, he's definitely keeping it to himself.
