McCain is not a guy to play Clinton-style dirtbag politics. He will attack Obama on the issues from now until Election Day.
For his part, Obama realizes that he is going to get chewed up and spit out in a straight fight with McCain over the issues, hence his refusal to agree to a series of town hall debates between them. So what is Obama to do? If he refuses to debate McCain, eventually people are going to perceive that as a serious weakness and it will make them doubt his ability to be President. It looks like his campaign is going to try to generate some noise around the race issue and play the aggreived party, but I don't see how that helps his campaign, unless he resorts to some sort of dirty tricks campaign to try and frame McCain as a race-hater. Either way, it amounts to a series of political calculations that put Obama squarely in the "yet another politician" (YAP) category.
