Obama has released a new ad attacking John McCain and his ability to use a computer. The attacks by both parties are becoming absurd. "Both campaigns are making a mistake, and that is they are taking whatever their attacks are and going one step too far, they don't need to attack each other in this way." - says Karl Rove. The attack ads are going to continue or get worse until the two candidates meet in a town hall meeting or some other form to debate. "Today is the first day of the rest of the campaign," says David Plouffe Obama's campaign manager. Obama has criticized negative campaigning in the past, but seems to have CHANGED his mind once again. Obama: "I told this to my team, you know, we are starting to sound like other folks, we are starting to run the same negative stuff. It shows that none of us are immune from this kind of politics. But the problem is that it doesn't help you."
McCain may be computer illiterate but at least he does not change his mind as frequently as Barack Obama. Negative ads have been around for a long time and are used strategically by political campaigns to bring down the opponents poll numbers. If Barack Obama thinks this makes the McCain campaign dishonest why is he now using the same tactics? When you can't bring poll numbers up enough you attack with negative ads to bring their poll numbers down and close the gap. John McCain inability to use computers is just a stupid attack, I am sure he can learn everything he needs to know about computers in a few days. He is not running to be president of IBM.

I would agree that the political adds, lashes, and back lashes has taken a turn to the rediculious. With that said, I would agree that McCain not being computer literate makes me a little worried that he might be out of touch. I have heard people say that he is unable to use the computer because of his war injuries. That has to be the most worthless excuse I have ever heard. Stephen Hawking uses a computer and answers e-mails every day. 'nuff said.
