New players old tactics

Though both Obama and McCain state that they are new players who will avoid the old styles of politics, both seem engaged in an internet feud currently. After withstanding criticism from the McCain campaign for being "unfounded" and producing "potentially damaging reports", the Obama campaign has debuted a new website to slurr the credibility of the McCain campaign.

Though this is neither a new nor groundbreaking, the fact that both men have already forgone their previous promises to avoid dirty playing has caused internet critics to raise an eyebrow. Logically, if one is to botch one's promises now who knows what will be done later.


However, never fear Obama fanboys (and fangirls) the intention of the website is not to harm the credibility of the McCain campaign, suggests spokesman Tommy Vietor, it is to merely prove wrong the lies spread by the McCain campaign. Make of that what you will.


For any readers who wish to see the Obama website: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/fightthesmearshome/

It quite literally destroys the arguments proposed by the McCain campaign. Given both sides induction into dirty play, we will have to wait and see how the McCain campaign will respond. Logic dictates that they will probably be angry for being called liars, BUT I've been wrong before.
