No, the radical community organizer from Chicago scares people.

And we're not afraid of his heritage or his name or even his former pastor.

We're terrified that a man who wants to redistribute wealth, continue with late-term partial birth abortions, tax us to death, and not even have the God-given sense to cite Islamic extremist terrorists as an example of evil when asked is about to officially accept the Democratic nomination for President of these United States.

This is John McCain's race to lose.

And he needs to be careful.

He shouldn't have been surprised at someone asking him how many homes he and Cindy McCain own. The left loves to demonize the financially successful. There'll be more of this to come. And so Sen. McCain better have all his ducks in a row. Despite the fact that Obama lives in a big, beautiful house facilitated by a crook, he has taken delight at ridiculing McCain's inability to answer a simple question about the amount of homes he has. And frankly, I can't blame him.

Never mind that the difference between McCain's wealth and Obama's is that there's an absence of hypocrisy in the Republican's economic story. As he put it at Saddleback, he wants everybody to be rich. He'd love to see all Americans achieve prosperity.

It used to be called the American Dream.

But to liberals who fly around on private jets and feast on caviar, attacking wealthy Americans has become a blood sport.

I think John McCain is up to the challenge.

When he says he's going to pick a running mate who "shares" his values, I believe him. C'mon, Sen. McCain, don't pick a pro-abortion politician. Your base has enough worries about your conservative bona fides, we don't want to fret over you running with someone on the same page with Obama on the life issue.

I initially expressed indifference to Sen. McCain's running mate being pro-abortion. But my radio listeners changed my mind. The presidential election has to be about energizing the base, mobilizing the voters, and making us excited to pull the level for the Republican candidate.

This weekend, I leave for Denver where I'll be blogging and broadcasting from the Pepsi Center, site of the Democrat National Convention. As I like to say, I'll feel like Van Helsing entering Castle Dracula. As I appear on Fox News, perhaps I'll wear garlic around my neck. It should get a chuckle out of the 'Fox and Friends' crew.

But let's face it, this is no laughing matter. Now begins the serious process of getting down to business and keeping the country out of the hands of radicals.

Let's roll.
