Quote of the Day

Ezra Klein (again):

Is anyone surprised that in the final weeks of the race, when they're trailing by 5-10 points, the McCain campaign is "reconsidering" their refusal to make an issue of Jeremiah Wright? And why wouldn't they? What could be more mavericky than first adopting a principled refusal to deploy Jeremiah Wright then reversing course and using him as part of a straightforwardly racist effort to close the gap in the final days of the election?
