I have a feeling the discourse is about to get a lot less polite.
I think Obama will get more aggressive, but I don't think he will sling mud. That's too slippery a slope.

P.S. Also, don't forget: Obama is virtually required not to show anger, since the "angry black man" phenomenon will only infuse the reactionary right wing.

Yup, I just read this today:
Onus on McCain to turn presidential race his way - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081004/ap_on_el_pr/campaign_next_chapter - broken link)

That moron is going to focus on attacking Obama over the next month instead of focusing on his own strengths. Sounds just like someone I want leading this country.

Don't worry. It will come back and bite him in the butt.

This article is just a warning to the public, on behalf of the Obama campaign, that McCain will be talking about Obama's associations, which the media has ignored. It is a legitimate issue.

This is just so the Obama campaign can say, "see, we told you voters"!, the McCain campaign is slinging mud, so says the left-wing media.

As if Obama hasn't been slinging it all along.

Not sure if you are talking about the article I linked, but it is was not written on behalf of the Obama campaign. Where did you get that?

Anything coming from the WaPo or NYTimes is on behalf of the Obama campaign.

Oh, the "NYTimes" is part of the liberal media "conspiracy" theory. Again.

Not!

Yet another attempt from a McCaininite grasping at straws. Face it, it's almost over.
