That and McCain’s overriding desire to run “an honorable” campaign. McCain was playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules while Obama was playing by the Alinsky rules of a street fight.

Don’t forget that Barry was already disingenuously and falsely playing the race card time and again.

- “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”

- “And so the only way they figure they’re going to win this election is if they make you scared of me. So what they’re saying is, ‘Well, we know we’re not very good but you can’t risk electing Obama. You know, he’s new, he … doesn’t look like the other presidents on the currency, you know, he’s got a, he’s got a funny name.’”

- “But, since they don’t have any new ideas the only strategy they’ve got in this election is to try to scare you about me. They’re going to try to say that I’m a risky guy, they’re going to try to say, ‘Well, you know, he’s got a funny name and he doesn’t look like all the presidents on the dollar bills and the five dollar bills’ and, and they’re going to send out nasty emails.”

Except that “they” — McCain and his campaign — never said that. Barry did. Despicably.
