though if you care to recall, some of Clinton's attacks were effective in the rust belt, where the election will be decided.

I happened to listen to that segment and Dr. Maddow's (a Rhodes Scholar with a PhD in Political Science from Oxford) analysis was not only spot on, but if things keep on as they're been going- decidedly prescient.

There may well be a LOT of disappointed polyanna's here come November 5th if the campaign allows the Republicans to continue to control the focus and frame the debate.

From many of the comments here, the prevailing sentiment seems to be "take the high road, "we don't "go negative," and McCain and the corporate media are full of shit- people will see through it.

My hope is that the Obama campaign is smarter than that- but after the past 20 years, I'll have to see it to believe it.
