It was in the news the other day about radio talk show host Bill Cunningham making some disparaging remarks about Barack Obama at a rally for John McCain in Ohio while warming up the crowd. McCain immediately apologized to the media and denounced Cunningham, claiming he didn't know him, he didn't know why he was there and that it would never happen again. This didn't go over too well with Cunningham who later on his radio show said McCain had thrown him under the bus and said he was going to support Hillary Clinton. I understand most other right wing radio talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh have sided with Cunningham. Here's what I find interested about this story; McCain first said he'd never met Cunningham, which the radio host denied. Then McCain conceded that perhaps they had met once or twice. Cunningham also says he was hired by the McCain campaign specifically to toss "red meat" to the crowd. Apparently he did exactly what he thought was expected of him. Any thoughts on this? Is that what we can expect in the coming months until the November election?

I saw an interview today with Cunningham (I'll bet he's loving all this attention) and I believe he said besides meeting McCain in person a few times he also had McCain on his radio show as a guest.
Most people are attributing it to McCain just plain forgetting but either way it looks very bad. Either McCain is lying about the situation or he's getting so old his memory is getting pretty bad (I would think it would be impossible to forget that nut)
I really think McCain's only chance is if Hillary does well March 4th and her and Obama keep beating up on each other.
I know Hillary thinks everyone is against her besides the cast of Saturday Night Live, but has anyone noticed Obama is now virtually campaigning against Hillary, Bill, John McCain, and Lil Bush now too. I hope he puts her away March 4th.
