"It is a sorry fact of American political life that campaigns get ugly, often in their final weeks. But Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin have been running one of the most appalling campaigns we can remember.
They have gone far beyond the usual fare of quotes taken out of context and distortions of an opponent’s record — into the dark territory of race-baiting and xenophobia. Senator Barack Obama has taken some cheap shots at Mr. McCain, but there is no comparison..."
Oh yeah...and back to the debate. I've read on the progressive blogs that folks think Tom Brokaw is in McShame's pocket. I don't know whether or not that's true, but I wonder why this debate - which was supposed to be about domestic issues - ended up half focused on foreign policy issues. That took the spotlight off of a lot of domestic issues that will play to Obama's strengths. Who chose the questions and why did the audience get to ask 8 and Brokaw asked 9?
