We all know that as each day goes by we are one day closer to the presidential elections. In our class we have been talking about how bad the candidates are attacking one another, but thanks to the internet this year's election has definitely taken it to another level. Wired Magazine did a piece called: Did the Clinton Campaign Doctor Obama Footage to Make Him 'Blacker'?. The article explains how blogs have been exploding with videos and comments due to competition between Obama and Clinton. In the article they show the a photo of what Obama looks like and how the Clinton Add made him blacker in the video. Personally I am disgusted about how politicians attack one another in such methods. What do you guys think?

I agree.. their attacks on one another are disgusting. Also, I think as the candidates get more desperate, their attacks are more reaching and baseless. I think these attacks make the candidates less credible and don't reflect the best interests of the voters.
Good post for getting a conversation going. But, make sure to check your spelling, punctuation and read your copy for wording mistakes. Please edit this post before attempting to drive traffic to read your blog.
