Saw a lovely comment on MSNBC's First Read today that I just had to share:

Tonight is Barack Obama's chance to put the Bill Ayers distraction to rest. Even though candidates are "not supposed to ask each other direct questions" he can put McCain on the spot. Character issues will surely come up, and Obama can pivot to: "Senator McCain, weeks ago your campaign clearly implied that I called your running mate a pig when I used a common expression to describe your policies that you often used yourself. After creating quite an uproar, when later asked directly, you admitted that you didn't think I was referring to your running mate that way. Now she is going on and on about my Chicago neighbor who is very involved in education today but did some things I've described as despicable 40 years ago. So I ask you tonight to look me in the eye and tell me whether you think I share the beliefs that caused Bill Ayers to do what he did back when I was 8 years old." Make the Old Man put up or shut up.

Negative campaigning is an act of desperation and it won't work on the undecided voters who hold our future in their hands.
