Agreed. Actually I often find myself amazed at how political campaigns are run in the US. Making the other candidate look bad seems to be a lot more important than making yourself look good. It seems to be tradition that the debate always devolves into a mud throwing contest the last week or so before the election (if not before).
What's worse is that a good portion of the voters apparently buy into the stuff.
