They will feel right at home.Let Sarah deal with them - she opened Pandora's Box!They deserve each other.Tom  It’s just plain obvious at this point, that if McCain were to pull off an upset – it would not be on the merits of his own “selling points”, but rather the Republican dirty tricks and subterfuge which we have come to expect.Clearly Barack Obama speaks to what the entire world craves in a US President, while McCain would only continue that which we revile.I am holding my breath, hoping that the talk of a “Bradley effect” is just that – talk.Yet, the Sean Hannity’s of this world have seen us crash and burn in the past, but NOT this time methinks. OK, back to optimism – when Barack DOES gain the Presidency, we will have entered a new era in the US Political Dynamic, living proof of MLK’s statement that a man should be judged on the content of his character rather than the color of his skin.BTW, I am white FWIW.Meanwhile, maybe the Neo-Nazis and skinheads in the USA will find a new stomping ground – Alaska.I understand that Wasilla is the crystal meth capital there.
