DQ, I am sure you will find this kind of stuff going on with all politicians. Slimy, but the norm, regardless of party. Say what you will about Obama and his experience, but you can't deny he is a pretty sharp, intelligent guy. I know you don't like him, but the experience he had to go through to defeat the Clinton machine was probably more valuable then 10 years in office. He has had to face the media. Palin? She let's Tina do her talking for her.
