These kind of tawdry personal attacks on both Obama and McCain are really sad, in my opinion, and they have little or nothing to do with whether someone should vote for either one of them. Someone should vote for them (or not) based on their policies (if you can figure out what the hell they are...?) and based on the general coalition of policymakers that are working with them now and can be expected to help them form governmental policy, domestic and foreign, once they are elected.

Nasty personal innuendos over what Obama said about his grandmother or what some advisor of McCain said in one sentence in an unguarded moment have no bearing whatsoever on whether to cast a vote for either one of them.

The fact that people are pandering to such low forms of attack speaks a lot worse for them than it does for the candidate(s). It shows just how unscrupulous individuals can become in their righteous zeal to push a partisan point of view.
