"My opponent’s touchiness every time he is questioned about his record should make us only more concerned. For a guy who’s already authored two memoirs, he’s not exactly an open book. It’s as if somehow the usual rules don’t apply, and where other candidates have to explain themselves and their records, Senator Obama seems to think he is above all that," – John McCain, today.
McCain refuses to allow his medical records to be viewed in full by professionals at length. His running mate, for the first time in modern American history, refuses to hold a press conference, will not release even her college transcript, and refuses to provide any objective record of the birth of Trig Palin.
