Obama seems to be more familiar with modern technology and less inclined to censor it. I would prefer someone who would stop all censorship, including ratings and especially, the F.C.C. but Obama may be a pivot point from the old, anachronistic politicians to newer, wiser ones. Societies have, always, fuctioned these ways: When new technologies were invented, the old, stupid leaders feared them and demanded censorship. They, eventually, died and the successors, having been raised with such technologies, understood that they were not dangerous and allowed them to be free. Books, radio, television, music and even telephones were subjected to censorship. I, however, plan to love techology until it cn no longer keep me alive. Remember: The First Aendmentis not ambiguous and we should demand that our leaders accept it. Age may, actually, be very relevant to the campaign.

Certainly not old boys network, or lipstick on a pig (which McCain used referring about a Clinton position with no outrage I can remember.) To Tim - McCain's mother is still alive, but his father died at 71, IIRC. And my father-in-law, who is 93 and has voted for Republicans longer than most of us have been alive, is voting for Obama because he doesn't think McCain can hold two thoughts in his head at the same time any more. Weight is not any indication of fitness for the office, but age might be, so while Obama did not bring it up, it is time somebody did.

Just because one side is doing it doesn't mean the other should. I lose respect for any candidate that does that, which means I don't have a lot of respect for most politicians. I wish politicians would tell us what we should vote FOR THEM, not why we should vote against the other candidate. Despite all the media attention I still don't really know where either Obama or McCain stands on some issues or what they plan to do about it. But if you guys enjoy them insulting each other back and forth, well, whoopie for you. I want to vote for someone with integrity and maybe even a little dignity. I admired Obama for respecting his opponents even when the Republicans are being jerks, but apparently he's decided that's not the way to go. I don't really think Obama has gone overboard or anything so far. The "Lipstick on a pig" line was stupid and he should have realized how it would sound, but I didn't think it was all that offensive. The candidates also need to think, "What would my reaction be if that line was used against ME?" In this situation, it's not so bad, but if this kind of thing continues I'm going to find it harder and harder to vote for either of them. I'm learning that when it comes to elections, you have to vote for who you're disgusted with the least. It shouldn't have to be that way. Eh, I’m sick of all the cheap shots too.
