There has been a distinct difference between the negative John McCain and Barack Obama ads. Ads against Obama have tried to allege countless "guilt by association" ties, and. . .well, really, some crazy shit. Obama's ads against McCain have stayed closer to the facts, using McCain's actual quotes and appearances. Little to nothing has been made of the Keating Five, of McCain's marriage troubles, Mrs. McCain's drug and theft problems, all of which are real events that could have been used in some real doozy ads.
In short, while both campaigns use eerie music, bad photos of the other guy, and other political ad tricks (as virtually all candidates for anything do), the Obama campaign has practiced some real restraint. Up until now, they haven't even said much about Sarah Palin.
Until now.
