Did he dump his disabled wife for an heiress? Did he get an education at public expense through family ties? Did he manage to stay in a military academy only through those same family ties?

As a Navy pilot did he wreck 2 or 3 or 4 more airplanes than would have washed out any other pilot?

McCain, a guy I like, has lived a very privileged life, all his life, and received every institutional break possible, even before Vietnam. As a black man, would America forgiven Obama all that?

Obama has his Ayers, a professor at a public university and Wright, a wingnut partially quoted out of context.

McCain has a very close association with Bush, arguably the most destructive influence on the America of our forefathers, and sought and received the endorsements of Chuck Hagee, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell.

Yep. Compared to McCain and Palin, Obama and Biden have no derogs.
