McCain is going to spend a fair amount of time on the defensive as well in ways that he has not yet.

I don't see any possible way that this comment is an issue in the general election. If it is, we are deciding elections on some pretty superficial criteria. There are plenty of ways for Obama and McCain to differentiate themselves from the other. This throwaway comment certainly won't be the tipping point.
