It has been pointed out to me that when I say that I approve this message, some might infer that I don't approve that one. Since that one is from someone else, it is obviously from someone not like me -- i.e., white, older, Midwestern, etc. I certainly did not intend to be racist, sexist, ageist, homophobic or elitist or suggest in any way that other messages do not deserve to have a place in the debate.

"That one" (and McCain's delivery) was just creepy and weird. Just say "Senator Obama" or "Barack."
you could also use:
My worthy opponent
My adversary
My Democratic counterpart
My colleague from across the aisle
My fellow co-worker
My fellow senator
...and so it goes.

That "moron" would have been more appropriate, albeit a tad harsh.
