The next month is going to be filled with disgustingly desperate lies and twisted half-truths. The scumbags who run the McCain campaign actually said they are doing this to deflect attention away from the economy. God, how pathetic.
This is the first shot, but look for more subtle and not-so-subtle racist comments to start flowing from "surrogates". This bullshit will grow and become even more ugly than I think I can stand. So what do we do about it? Sling back all the easily-found mud possible, or take the high road?
I'm so worried about the outcome of this election. Please, if you are an intelligent, reasonable American, make SURE you are registered, and get out there and register as many like-minded people as you can.

MCCAIN, HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT, YOU SAD, DESPERATE SHELL OF A MAN????
Thanks, Salon, for letting me vent.
