    Do the Democrats have a larger budget for combatting Obama myths, of for creating McCain myths?

    Because it seems like they have poured a lot of money into creating malicious lies like the one with the actress playing a mother holding a baby (or a doll?), and saying that John McCain wants her baby for his 100-year war in Iraq.

    It's really hard to draft a political ad that contains almost as many lies and untruths as it does words, but apparently, with hard work and lots of spending, the Democrats have managed it.
