I can hope the following exchange occurs tonight....
...Senator Obama looks at Senator Angry Old Prick and says the following:

"Senator McCain, I'd like you to clarify something for the American people right now. Yesterday at one of your rallies, one of your supporters shouted, "Kill him," in the midst of your speech. Was that directed toward me, John - look at me when I'm talking to you, John - because if it was, it was directed toward a Presidential candidate and transcends every value that Americans hold to. Your one action, John, is to denounce such hate-filled rhetoric and pledge that there will be no tolerance of it in your campaign."

Then wait for Angry Old Prick's reaction.

2. I saw the video of McCain's rally and there was....
...a, "Kill him," shouted. You could clearly see the pain on McCain's face.

13. Obama will not take advantage of this.
There were gun nuts bringing guns into Denver at convention time and one of them said they were going to shoot Obama in the stadium. If Obama had any inclination to make political use of such things, that was the moment. He could have created a huge sympathy vote over that. But the whole thing was swept under the rug. I don't think they want such incendiary politics.

11. Listen closely. Two different people say it at two different times. No mistaking it.
