There are many things that can change the direction of this presidential election. Certainly this past two weeks has been a game changer because of economics and the stock market. There might be another economic event or another war related event. As examples: What would happen if the stock market dropped by 25%? Another concern is the possibility of Israel attacking Iran’s nuclear sites. These events could significantly impact the outcome of the November election. What we do not need is mud slinging.
That seems to be the new behavior of Governor Sarah Palin. Reported on CNN and by the Associated Press is an accusation that Democrat Barack Obama of “palling around with terrorists.” Is this the way John McCain hopes to win the presidency?
I can only hope that the American people will see through this disgusting practice. The problem is, most pundits say, that it works. The “swift boaters” and other groups will be making the effort to support John McCain by any means.
Barack Obama does not appear to be the type to resort to name calling. However he is from Chicago. That is a city of tough politics. Will he resort to mud slinging too? I hope not.
May the best man win.
