What did McCain mean when he called Obama 'that one'?

A growing perception that Republican presidential candidate John McCain is outright disdainful of having to share a stage with -- let alone losing to -- Barack Obama is gaining more traction after McCain dismissively referred to his opponent as "that one" during Tuesday's debate.

Andrew Sullivan pronounced it "the moment the contempt spilled over."

Crooks and Liars Nicole Belle wonder if McCain was "going to yell at him to get off his lawn next."


I also thought it was pretty offensive to tell an audience member that "you probably never heard of Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac."

Give me a break! The guy is one of a select few attending a presidential debate, and asking an economic question. I'm willing to wager that he is engaged enough to have at least heard of those two companies before this economic mess hit.
