Really Frustrated...

My roommate and I caught the repeat of the debate the other night and have been discussing the divide in HOW the negative campaigns are being run. I feel like Obama's attacks against McCain have been policy-based, where McCain's attacks against Obama involve Ayers and other non-concrete, personal issues. Honestly, I think negative campaigns are a fact of life, and when they point out policy differences, I think they do have a place in a campaign. But when they exist solely to attack the other person, I wonder why the responsible party can't dig anything better up.
