A sharp contrast to McCain.

John McCain is NOT a nice man. He is mean-spirited. And a stretcher of the truth. If not an outright liar. He knows he cannot win the presidency by addressing the issues. That would be a sure way for him to lose. So he has to come up with gimmicks. And by attacking his opponent, Barack Obama. Yes, disparaging Obama. Smearing his character. And distorting Obama's positions on the issues. Yes, negative campaigning. I felt sorry for McCain when similar tactics were used against him by George Bush in the 2000 election campaign. But now, McCain is out-bushing Bush. Yes, more evidence that if McCain gets elected, it'll be very much like having Bush in for a third term. Obama, meanwhile, seems like a nice and decent guy. A sharp (and pleasant) contrast to McCain. --Jim Broede
