David and Shmuel, I think this potentially does become problematic–but for Barack Obama. Hillary, much to her dismay, isn’t the one on the ballot. She has, however, given the McCain team an opening which they have seized. Their statement reads:

Governor Palin believes that the danger of a nuclear Iran is greater than party or politics. She hopes that all parties can rally together in opposition to this grave threat.

The opportunity to “rise above politics” and demonstrate their much-criticized VP nominee’s devotion to preventing a nuclear Iran is one not to be missed. A small gift from Hillary–intentional or not?
