I read this article on CNN news about 'rage on the McCain campaign trail' http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/10/mccain.crowd/index.html?iref=mpstoryview. All I could think about was how unintelligent most of the comments were that the enraged people were making. Kind of funny though. They are mad at McCain for losing.
It seems that the McCain campaign is really going down the toilet lately. The majority of people polled said Obama won the last debate, Obama is in the lead in the polls, and Palin was officially found guilty of violating state ethics laws. I absolutely love what the McCain campagin spokeswoman said in regards to that verdict "Gov. Palin was cleared of the allegation of an improper firing, which is what this investigation was approved to look into... [however] the Legislature exceeded its mandate in finding an ethics violation."
Oh good, so since the Legislature exceeded its mandate, we will just pretend an ethics violation never happened.
Its still a close election, and I won't breathe easy until Obama is sworn into office, but it seems he is getting closer.

I read a similar article recently. I was glad that at least McCain tried to discourage the lack of respect and corrected some of the ignorant comments, but what does he expect from his supporters when his ads heavily insinuate (or just come right out and say) the same kinds of things? I'll be glad when the election is over, although I don't know what I'll talk about anymore once it is! The economy, I guess. :)
This is my third presidential election I have been able to vote in, and I am definitely more interested in this one than any other. I don't know if it is because of the current state our country is in, the candidates, or the fact that I am growing older (probably a mixture of all three).
Rational folks are getting increasingly appalled at these anti-Obama statements and I think McCain's attempts to curb them seem rather fake considering this ads and Palin's naked and increasingly blatant attacks...
Perversely I think, this is all actually making Obama more popular as such negativity can be a huge turnoff after a point.
I heard about some of the McCain rage. It is really amazing.
oops, I just noticed that I was signed in as tim when I left that first comment. so that was really me.
