Not a Big Truck

It is increasingly becoming clear that the McCain campaign, knowing that if this election is going to be about the issues or John McCain, then Republicans are in trouble, has decided to throw out any and every charge possible at Obama no matter how false or how negative.  Some of the charges may stick (Obama is an elitist) others may not (Obama is a Muslim). 

The constant attacks seem to keep the attention on Obama.  McCain, even when shown to be outright lying, manages to get the “oh, he is war hero and is honorable” treatment and would never intentionally lie, but is being forced into going negative because of his underdog status.

I think Obama will win this election, but it may be closer than it should be, simply because McCain gets a free pass on his tactics.  The POW shield and his underdog status provide him with a lot of flexibility in his campaigning.
