Its not like he didn't know this was coming

This speech from July 30th that Obama gave shows that he knew that the republicans have nothing to run on and that they would stoop to trying to scare everyone that he is too risky.

It still shocks me that there are so many of our fellow citizens that are actually falling for their tactics though. The blog Political Animal over at Washington Monthly had links to some pretty scary McCain/Palin crowds yesterday -

* McCain-Palin fanatics are getting really scary.
* No, really, I mean it. These folks are stark raving mad.
* You think I'm kidding, but seriously, these folks have lost it.

UPDATE: McCain is finally saying a little bit. I don't think he is trying really hard to calm things down, but at least he's doing something now.
