Historians agree: John McCain could get a whole lot sleazier
Oh, these two are just getting started.
Barack Obama's top strategist David Axelrod says that John McCain and Sarah Palin are waging the "sleaziest and least honorable presidential campaign of all time," but according to historians and academics, that is not the case. According to John Geer, author of In Defense of Negativity, "It's not new or novel. McCain's tactics are no different than what we've seen in recent years."
To put things in perspective, let's take a look at campaign posters from back in the day:

You're now a Fan of stubs.
All the commercials, pundits, gaffes, personal attacks, and the MSM will not dictate the outcome of this election. THE GROUND GAME IS WHERE ELECTIONS ARE WON, AND LOST!
Before you go to the next left leaning article to comment on, or right leaning article to start an argument with a repug (which will no doubt end with them calling you an unpatriotic socialist wimp) I suggest that you get in the game.
