That&#8217;s not going to win McCain any Miss Congeniality points. Nor will it reassure any voters who believe McCain is improperly trying to capitalize on Obama&#8217;s &#8220;otherness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>  This goes beyond refusing to look at Obama in the first debate. With this slightly dehumanizing phrase, McCain may have just played into the emerging narrative of Obama-hate that has been sprouting at McCain-Palin rallies.<\/p>\n<p>  Darren Davis, a professor at Notre Dame who specializes in the role of race in politics, sent a comment to the Huffington Post about McCain&#8217;s &#8220;that one&#8221; remark. &#8220;It speaks volumes about how McCain feels personally about Obama. Whomever said the town hall format helps McCain is dead wrong,&#8221; Davis wrote.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(logo via <em><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/wnalyd\/statuses\/950876778\" title=\"wnalyd: Retweet @mattmay\">wnalyd<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This goes beyond refusing to look at Obama in the first debate.
