"That One"

I couldn't really figure out what McCain was thinking when he referred to Obama as "that one". I couldn't think of a way that it would be racist. Still, it exuded contempt. Was it a shot at Oprah declaring Obama "The One"? Was McCain just cranky?

Either way, it was classless and uncivil. Not something you want to see in a debate from somebody who could become the most powerful man in the world in a little more than three months. And, while this might be a mental revision on my part, it made George W. Bush's performances a little less loathsome.
