I've heard some disturbing stories about the Obama campaign too - like someone offering money to a couple of black guys, bouncers at a bar near the coffeeshop where a friend hangs out, to beat up her husband (in his 60s and infirm) because since he's not voting for Obama he's a "racist and a bigot".
Embarassing. But the big difference is, if both campaigns have had shameful behavior from some supporters, at least none of it's coming from Obama or Biden and they've taken steps to point out the humanity of their opponents. McCain has too, and if he's ineffectual, well, I really do suspect he's getting tired and discouraged. But a lot of it is coming directly from Palin, or presumably her handlers. If there were no other factors in determining my vote, that alone would do it for me.
