Since Obama has said it will be part of the Fall campaign I am providing for those to young to remember. Please note the date of the article and who used it in a previous election.

Gee......... and I thought we weren't going to have any negative campaigning. Oh, maybe he'll just leave it to his surragates.

[TuborgP]

What goes around will come around. It will be negative even if not by McCain or Obama.

[VMH2507]

But did you need to start it?

[TuborgP]

Of course Obama said today it would be part of the campaign and that is posted here and many young voters would not know what it was about. It is already started and in the news.

That is old, tired news! You are going to have to do better than that.

[TuborgP]

Old and tired for those of us who can remember. However when the sound bites and replays of the conservative right get replayed it will be interesting. Does George Bush stand by his comments then or doesn't he? This was a primary issue then not a general campaign issue like now. Voters will have to decide if it is old and not relevant or old and still a negative. I like John but I don't see either of them making it to the finish line in any shape to do what we need our next president to do. The Clintons may be more flawed but they are all flawed.

So is the weather underground

Of Course NOT!
Well lets get serious, none of those things on Obama are off the table and neither are ANY OF THE MCCAIN gaffs!

Hillary got it easy because she is a dem and you don't beat up your own party...but McCain...GAME ON!

The Dems have so much junk on this guy...it is going to get very interesting!

What may be more critical then the junk the Democrats have on him is the junk his own party has used against him.

Remember this one?

Obama has not run before, which makes his scandals new. I am sure the Republicans will give as good as they get.
