Did McCain Endorse Obama?

Say it ain't so, John. Say it ain't so.

Did John McCain endorse Barack Obama for President?

When speaking at a rally in Minnesota, McCain called on the audience to be respectful of Obama but was jeered for his trouble.

"I want to be President of the United States and I don't want Obama to be," said McCain, "But I have to tell you...he is a decent person and a person you don't have to be scared as President of the United States."

Doesn't it scare McCain that Obama is willing to talk to Ahmadinejad without precondition? Well, it sure as hell scares me and a lot of other people. Doesn't it scare McCain that Obama associates with unrepentant terrorists like Bill Ayers? Well, it sure as hell scares me and a lot of other people. Doesn't it scare McCain that Obama will withdraw troops from Iraq resulting in the deaths of millions of innocent civilians? Well, it sure as hell scares me and a lot of other people.

If we have nothing to fear from an Obama White House then why run against him at all? He's either fit to be President or he's not fit to be President.

I understand McCain's desire for civility but civility is a two way street. It would be nice if Obama's supporters refrained from comparing him and Sarah Palin to George Wallace. McCain can fight in a respectful manner but that is rather difficult to do so when he is being hit below the belt.
