Remember Folks, Politics is a Game

The media have made it gospel that McCain is attacking Obama dishonestly. Of course, campaign advertisements are the last place to look for a dispassionate rendition of the facts. McCain's ads are no different. But they are no worse than Obama's spots.

When Obama distorted a McCain remark about staying in Iraq for 100 years -- if we were taking no casualties -- into an endorsement of endless war, the media generally tsk-tsked that McCain should be more careful about what he says.

McCain has been getting a lot of slack from the Media about misconstruing remarks and facts about Obama's stance on taxes amongst other things. What this article is a good reminder of is that this is politics, this is a game, and one that both Obama and McCain both know that a little cheating may mean a big win come November.
