Hillary is an evil Rovian liar. Obama is a sanctimonious lightweight with a glass jaw. One of them is likely to be the Democratic nominee for President, and I will vote for either. If you won't, then take the blame for the consequences. (That said, I prefer Edwards.)
In terms of campaign tactics, if you think Obama has been running an innocent, civil, above-board campaign, you are deluding yourself. He is not as slimy as Clinton by any means, but he has gotten in a number of questionable low blows--such as his campaign manager in Nevada urging Republicans to switch their registration to Democrat to vote against Hillary. He apologized for that, and that's fine. But, folks, campaigns are vicious knife-fights. It has never been any different. Go read some history books and see what John Adams said about Thomas Jefferson. Not pretty.
