Yeah, that was what I read...racism never entered my mind, and I 
seriously doubt it entered McCains.
That is the one thing I really really hate about this election.  Racism 
is assigned as a motive for everything....
My grandmother said 'that one' a lot.  My mother also.  Usually, the 
implication is that the person is a troublemaker or scoundrel or 
mischief maker... I have frequently been "that one" in my life.  Usually 
it is said with eyebrows raised and an eye point.  Who started the 
fight?  That one.  Who ate all the biscotti? That one....fond memories 
of my grandmother.  I think that is why I thought it was funny..Obama 
certainly does cause trouble for McCain...
