Look, I'm busy. I have five kids in five different schools. I'm self-employed and I have to scramble every day to pay the bills, buy groceries, pay tuition, keep my little world turning. I'm a blue person in the heart of a red state, a small cog in a machine that seems to grind us ever finer. Many of you are like me, out there trying their best just to survive. You don't have time, you don't have money, you don't have energy. But in this final week before the election, I have a challenge for you.

I'm a life-long liberal, raised by liberals in the West, back when the West was progressive. I grew up with dual "citizenship" in small-town Wyoming and big-city Colorado Springs. Through circumstances -- love leads you funny places -- I've spent the last 10 years in a very small town in rural Louisiana. In the last few months, I've seen and heard some things around my little town that indicate John McCain's Palin gambit is not going to be as effective as some people think it will be. If he's counting on pulling the wool over the eyes of "small town America," it's going to be harder than he thinks.

I just saw the latest web ad from the McCain campaign, "The One." It seems so over the top that a casual observer would think it's parody. Over the last few days I've seen pundits and others wondering aloud why McCain would go so visciously negative so early and so often. I have one theory as to why.

What the GOP doesn't understand about the "base"

I think I know what McCain is doing
