Cool Hand Barack & Co. have shown too much political skill, acumen, and foresight this election cycle to let McCain's background pass. The reasoning is perfectly clear: as long as Obama didn't have to bring it down, he wouldn't. But now it appears McCain/Palin is going to dig deep in the gutter with unfounded personal attacks to titillate the GOP core and alienate as many of everyone else as possible. So, says Team Obama: you want to play dirty? Let 'er rip.
He's built himself a steady 5-point national lead largely on the issues and, since the primaries through to the debate, building the public narrative that he's presidential material and fairly steady under fire. Calm, cool, and collected, and a "new" kind of politician (whatever that is). Keeping the high ground is the honorable thing to do, and he's done it for as long as he possibly could. Which really shows you: there's only one candidate with honor in this campaign, and it's not McCain. Further proof that you needn't have worn a uniform to have honor - as well as the opposite.
