Default OT- Landslide?

Here is a start from the Associated Press:

And other lynch themed "anonymous" events like the one in Oregon at
George Fox University where a cardboard figure of Obama was hung by a
noose from a tree to intimidate minority students.


Come on, you think the McCain camp's strategy to win is to hang a
figure
in a noose in the middle of nowhere down in Oregon?

Even the article you reference shows McCain not inciting this stuff:

"Volunteers worked up chants from the crowd of "U.S.A." and "John
McCain, John McCain," in an apparent attempt to drown out boos and
other displays of negative energy."

"
Some of the frustration at McCain's rallies is from people who want
the candidate to go harder after Obama. In Waukesha, when a voter
begged McCain to take a more combative tone toward Obama, McCain
instead talked about the financial crisis.

"Could I just say very quickly, yes, I'll do that," McCain said. "But
I also, my friends, want to address the greatest financial challenge
of our lifetime with a positive plan for action."
"

There's always going to be people on your side which you wished
weren't.
