I too have been hearing much about how turned off people are by how far right the Republicans have moved. I totally agree that playing on people's fears to rule is not acceptable -- you notice they stopped doing it when it stopped working. It was pure political manipulation. And hate and name-calling never wins. Most people do not want to be part of it. I thought the Repuplicans ran a very juvenile campaign with the name calling and message of hate. Why not just stick to the issues? I am really surprised that John McCain resorted to it -- I would have expected him to take the high road since he runs on his integrity and love of country. I think he got some very bad advice from his campaign strategist.


As far as Obama's "grave" misstep regarding Nancy Reagan -- it was an off the cuff joke, and I don't consider it an "insult" to Nancy. Should he have said it -- probably not, but worse has been said. None of us are perfect, and it's hardly the first time that a President (of either party) or President-elect has had to apologize for a joke.
