Democrats have enough problems as it is against McCain
I think this is going to be somehting the Democrats are not really prepared to deal with and if they are not careful in their remarks toward him they will singificantly damage themselves very easily.

You can already note both Hillary and Obama trying hard to declare they will copy McCains campaign style..I doubt they can.

IF Americans start seeing the classic nasty campaign being done by the Democrats against McCains respectful campaign they will turn against the Democrats Hard.

Sen. Obama has the most respectful campaign of any of the candidates, despite some of the low down dirty tactics and ads that have been used against him.

If Sen. Obama is the democratic nominee, I guess we will see how long Sen. McCain's campaign stays repectful.

Obama has tried to remain respectful, but the Clinton campaign has gone nuclear to force at least some of his supporters to abandon civility. You can't play fair against Clinton (so I wouldn't expect McCain to remain civil if he found himself up against Hillary)
You would be right that Obama would be McCain's fear... as it would be difficult for McCain to attack him.
But the problem is that Clinton's camp has done all the attacking for him and injected race into the election to undermine Obama's overall appeal.

I was just beginning to warm to Clinton too.
McCain is doing the right thing, both in general and for strategy, in urging civility.
Not that I expect it to last forever... but the last thing he should do from his standpoint is draw attention to himself as an aggressor before the general.
He's going to let Clinton destroy Obama for him.

“We certainly don’t need any impugning of character, integrity or anything else in this campaign."

Character and integrity are issues, IMO. Personal judgment, honesty, strength of character, readiness, intelligence, temperament, experience.... all fair game, IMO.

We're electing a president, not a set of issue positions.

I have to agree on that, but they shouldn't be the focus.

I think the problem with focusing too much on these things is that they are even easier to distort than policy positions.

Limpbawls, Coulter Hannity and Fox News have trained the lemmings well, witness this forum. Hannity tried to attack him for reaching "across the aisle" Hannity needs a sex change or at least a brain. So step up folks why wasn't McCain the nominee in 2000?? You all know why, admit it!

gotta say, mcclean has walked the walk on this one. i cannot recall an instance where someone has gotten out of line where he failed to quickly speak out against it.

I would like to see Hilary use the tears on McCain in a debate, though. I wonder if she would.
