Heh, just kidding. Now that the halos have been polished and held up high (on both sides) for everyone to see, it's time for the Swiftboat crews to crawl out of the dark and limber up for October.

I would like to offer a contrarian opinion: Hillary Clinton played a bare-knuckle game, rather soft and sweet compared to the brass knuckles stuff John McCain will offer. Be prepared for that old favorite, the padlock-in-a-sock, and if the alley's dark enough, pencils up the nose. What makes McCain dangerous is that badboy maverick streak.
