    Bad Campaigning

    This article is clearly positional/editorial in nature. Nothing wrong with that, but calling John McCain a Dunce and picturing him in a Dunce cap is really low. Garrison Keelor mad many of the same points last week, but he made them in a much better way, without resorting to insults and name-calling. Let's remember, once Obama becomes President, he will have to actually govern all of us - not just his friends. He will be in a much better position to do that effectively if we, his supporters stick to facts and issues during the campaign.
