Soon enough this election will be over, I can't wait either! I agree that it is a shame that McCain and his supporters decided to run an emotional smear campaign against Obama, after McCain said he would run an honorable issue based campaign, which sounded so good at the time. It didn't take long for the campaign to get into the mud and for McCain to shed is honor, even his issues, in favor of attacks and smears. Beyond the harsh words it has generated, using heated rhetoric like "palin' 'round with terrorists" has led to 3 arrests for attempts at assassination of Obama, which is a much larger issue than any words posted on a message board. I agree this campaign, and every other campaign of the 21st century for that matter, has been a mess of ugly emotional attacks and smears where issues seem to take a back burner. I guess it seemed to be working, hell, if it got W's numbers close enough to be lawyered into office there's got to be something to it, right?
