Oh NO you didn't. Didn't John McCain just jibe the other day about Obama being "a politician from Chicago."? Well, what's wrong about being from Chicago? The senior editor used to live in that great city. We feel somewhat disrespected - don't you? And what's wrong with being a politician from Chicago? Nothing. There is however something wrong with being a politician - if you go around disrespecting the great city of Chicago. There's something very wrong with that. We are predicting a loss for John McCain, if not in Chicago, but the entire state of Illinois should get behind Obama, and vote against the insult.
