Have people noticed this in the media? Claims both campaigns taking low road...
I have been watching the electronic media and reading the print media and guess what? For all of those that think Obama is taking the high road, these outlets sure don't make it sound that way. They are playing their usual "both are doing it" reporting. So far, of all the press that describes itself as neutral, i.e. CNN, Time, Newsweek, et cetera, all of these outlets start their reporting by finding examples by BOTH campaigns. It does not matter if the McCain campaign has put out ten ads to one ad by the Obama campaign, the media is still reporting BOTH are doing it.

So, does it really matter if Obama takes the gloves off and slips a sap or two in his hand and gives McCain a good whack or two?

2. Tonight on MSNBC I noticed Andrea Mitchell and Margaret Carlson
pushing back. May be a sign of the times. The Old Media in the press may be sick of McCain's shit and ready to say it like it is.

New time comin'. However, I think these journalists are looking at their chances of snagging a Pulitzer and seeing it fade as they discuss such inanities as Paris Hilton...
