The Cult of Lincoln

Now that's what I call inspirational.

Senior McCain Adviser Refuses To Campaign Against Obama. Said McKinnon (the senior McCain advisor in question), "I would simply be uncomfortable being in a campaign that would be inevitably attacking Barack Obama. I think it would be uncomfortable for me, and I think it would be bad for the McCain campaign."

When is the last time a candidate has inspired that kind of emotion from members of an opposing political party, to say nothing of members of the senior staff of the opposing party's de-facto nominee?

This is one more reason why I support Barack Obama.

First, you have to understand the beast of campaigning. Some campaigners switch sides, so maybe he's a left leaning campaigner who happens to be in mccain's campaign. Second, no one likes attack ads. They make the attacker look just as bad as the person in question. This rule no longer applies when the attacked person is truly one horrible asshole, but in general, this is not the case. I had more to say, but i forgot all of it.
