Public-schooled America has little interest in class rank, trust me.

That will go nowhere. Swiftboating of McCain won't work, either. He's too entrenched as a POW who stayed behind when had the chance to leave...ironclad. Good luck with that one. Americans do not care about sex, just that the job is done. Remember Clinton? No one really cared did they? McCain has a hot wife, nobody will care if dredge is tried, they'll just take one look at her and forget it. For every negative tried against McCain, there are 14 legitimate against both Democratic challengers. If McCain has the balls he could choose any of many misdeeds of Hillary. Hussein Obama is ripe for the taking...he's crooked to the core. The question is: Will a soft McCain come out swinging or rope-a-dope and take punches without fighting back? For a former military man he is simply not the aggressor.
