Comments on: The nasty tone of McCain’s campaign is not his fault; the media have forced him into it http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/08/20/the-nasty-tone-of-mccains-campaign-is-not-his-fault-the-media-have-forced-him-into-it/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

We're talking about campaign nastiness that predates the Russia-Georgia conflict by weeks and months. Even the article to which I linked deals in part with punditry from before the Russian invasion of Georgia, which occurred only 12 days ago. Bob: You’ve got the timeline wrong.

It happened around the time Russia invaded Georgia. Meanwhile Obama maintained his usual laid back approach until that act was exposed at an early evening event in Lake Forest, California last Saturday. In response Obama attended a vets gathering yesterday and pretended to act upset at something McCain said. Watch for more Obama displays of his newfound intensity. Yes McCain’s tone has changed.
