Being John McCain

This kind of says it all. I think he was just being philosophical, referring to the "Allegory of the Cave". Maybe that's why Sarah looks so startled when he utters the brilliant line...



...she just hasn't extended the metaphor as far as John has. Or maybe she's just realizing her wagon's been hitched to a train...running over the edge of a cliff...into a pit of piranhas...that are made of nuclear waste.

Calling people at a rally "My fellow prisoners" today might mean one of two things. One, he knows something we don't and plans to throw a lot of us in jail after he is elected. Or two, since he likes to constantly throw out that he was a POW, it's now becoming impossible for him to even know when to use it appropriately. http://straighttalkonmccain.blogspot.com/

Sarah's reaction to that line was the first sign of intelligence I've seen from her!

I think you're right. He's referring to the Allegory of the Cave and the "clarity" that we will all reach when we finally see the sun for what it really is and stop being deceived by politi-- er, shadows.
