Playing the Race Card

McCain's people tried to paint Obama as foreign, "worldly."

They accurately point out that Obama's people want to shift the force of GOP criticism into the domain of race. It is only good for McCain when we think of Obama as half Kenyan and raised in Indonesia and as an "international" type of person. Being black is being American as apple pie. So in order to prevent Obama from canalizing the criticism into that domain and thus neutralizing it, they struck.
