John McCain's spokesman, Tucker Bounds, had this to say after Al Gore's endorsement of Barack Obama today. "At an event meant to show unity, Barack Obama couldn't unify his lofty rhetoric with the inconvenient truth that he voted for the Bush-Cheney energy bill he condemns, has proposed punishing tax increases on small businesses, and has even admitted that his economic agenda may harm the economy." That strikes me as terribly unfair. I traveled with McCain extensively throughout the primaries and I never once saw him unify his rhetoric, lofty or otherwise.
