I can't even understand how anyone would vote for someone who is openly announcing that the only way they can win your vote is by launching a smear campaign against the other guy.
What McCain gonna do when he's in the white house? Launch smear campaigns against Al Qaida and global warming?

The wife and I were out for dinner last night with a few people, one of whom is a Republican that supports McCain. She says she'll be voting for him because she thinks Democrats will be bad for the economy and won't keep us as safe as Republicans will. I'm not sure how she concludes these things based on our current situation, especially considering that she's a very intelligent person.

And even more surprising to me, she defends Palin by saying she's been unfairly targetted by the media. She says nothing about Palin being unable to answer extremely basic questions in interviews though. Go figure.

But luckily, it doesn't matter. We live in California where her vote is basically meaningless in the face of an overwhelmingly Democratic population.
