The election is getting scary
Since the beginning of the general election, McCain has run a more mean-spirited campaign than Obama. We were seeing nasty attack ads on tv that distorted the truth and really attacked Obama's character, while Obama's ads focused more on McCain's policy. Now, I'm sure I'm a bit biased on that one, but overall I think I'm on point. Now that McCain ( Read more... ) -
