Clinton and Obama are both playing the exact same political game
to self righteously assert that one has taken more of the high road than the other is utter and complete partisan bullshit.

Bashing each other on the issues is one thing, pretending that one candidate has more of the moral high ground is something else entirely.

Is this the first hard fought presidential campaign for some of you?

2. There are certainly political shenanigans going on with every
campaign. But, how do you answer those attacks? For example: how does Clinton responded to the distortions of her statements and accusations of racism?

Some people think that Kerry lost because he did not address the Swift boaters quick enough--and the campaigns are cognizant of that issue.

I guess I was hoping for a discussion of issues rather than such ugliness. I am really appalled.

6. Not at all
The fact of the matter is, that there are tangiable things to point to, that show that Hillary is going above and beyond the call of duty to supress votes and play dirty politics. Do you have proof that Obama is doing the same thing, because if not, they aren't playing " the same game"
