After the DNC convention, the Democrats threw out over 12,000 flags.. McCain's campaign salvaged them and will use them in a rally. Not a great deal to do with issues, but an enormous amount to do with character and the perception of the candidates..Old Glory rescued!! The Republicans starting to love recycling.. The DNC put out a statement that changes the tenor of the story, stating 75,000 people waved flags and that the McCain supports wrongfully took leftover flags from stadium..

Oh.. these important issues.. But people rarely vote on issues..

Expect to hear a lot about patriotism, respect, and flags.. 8 more weeks until November.. Photo above: AP Photo/Alex Brandon
