John McCain finally found a conservative talk show host who supported his candidacy, and according to the talk show host, promptly threw him under the bus.  Conservative talk radio host Bill Cunningham was criticized for mentioning Barack Obama's middle name in a speech in Ohio yesterday. Obama's middle name is of course Hussein.  When John McCain found out about it, he quickly distanced himself from Cunningham. On Foxnews' Hannity and Combs program, Cunningham said the McCain campaign told him to offer up some raw red meat.  It appears that McCain knew what was going to happen and used the talk show host to fight the tough fight.
This is potentially a big problem for McCain in the general election.  Ohio is a pivotal state, and Cunningham is wildly popular in the southwest corner which includes Cincinnati and Hamilton county.  As local commentator Jack Atherton has pointed out, Ohio (and especially Cincinnati) is nothing if not loyal.  One need look no further than the Pete Rose incident to see Ohioan's not only have a long memory, they are fiercely loyal and more than willing to hold a grudge.
I guess the other question that begs answering is "Is Barack Obama thick skinned enough to be President of The United States?
