Why Has the Campaign Gotten So Ugly? Because the republicans are desperate. The MAJORITY of Americans know that they can't afford 8more years of republican bullshit.

McCain showed us just how unqualified he is to be president when he picked the inept Palin as his running mate.

Who knew that people crippled by narrow mindedness could learn how to operate a computer? It must have been hard.

Listen: Obama isn't a terrorist. It's simple. It's the ploy of a hate filled idiot from Alaska and other cronies that are grasping at straws to find things that invalidate Obama's candidacy other than his race. They're only succeeding with people that believe his race invalidates his candidacy. McCain & Palin are the ones tearing America apart to continue to maintain status quo.

The republicans fucked up three-way style. First, they're conservative religious brainwashing, "back in my day" ( well your day is over, dipshit ) republicans. Second, they elect this person from ALASKA, hum , wow. Obvioulsy she's seen a lot of action, and wow, she is SUCH a serious person, Sarcasm!! Third, using a kick in the balls, by spreading rumours and all.

Anyone see Idiocracy, that's what USA are headind for with repubs. If you don laik it, yer can Geeerrrd OUTT!!! Southparkhillbillys

Yes, for his entire campaign, McCain has been searching vainly for a platform that resonated with the voters. when nothing worked he stooped to Rovian tactics and played the fear card that BUSH used for the last two terms - instead of addressing his own policies he attacked Barack Obama's character. the depth of McCain's cynicism and desperation came with choosing that clueless bimbo Sarah Palin for VP. yeah, if those despicable Republicans lose, i'll have a BIG SMILE for weeks! Assholes!

The Repubs are ARE desperate... they are going to lose... how wonderful is that? Yes Palin is a huge error but just like the Repubs. Stupid and insular.

the campaign has become so ugly because both the candidates are so hideous.

Hello! We are already in a depression & have been for at least 2 years. Wake up! Don't be a sheep search for the truth yourself. Be honest with yourself about your personal prejudices. I'm multiracial & not racist & this election has pulled things out of me that I didn't know existed. America is bigger than squabbles over race. We've followed their way for too long and we're in trouble. Giving money & tax cuts to the rich only benefits the rich, a grp most Americans are a part of in the least.
