Cindy McCain seems to be mixing up Obama and her husband

Cindy McCain: Obama's Waged "Dirtiest Campaign" in U.S. History

Since it is the McCain campaign that is full of lies and smears, I'm not sure where she's getting this nonsense, unless she thinks it's "dirty" that Obama keeps reporting facts!

More today:

Her comments came as the McCain campaign's tone has become increasingly harsh.

Nearly every TV ad McCain ran last week was negative, compared to just 34 percent of those by Obama, according to an analysis by the Wisconsin Advertising Project released on Wednesday.

Also on Wednesday, Cindy McCain criticized Obama for voting against a bill to pay for the troops in Iraq.

"The day that Sen. Obama cast a vote not to fund my son when he was serving sent a cold chill through my body, let me tell you," she told a Pennsylvania crowd before introducing the Arizona senator and his running mate Sarah Palin.

In fact, Obama consistently voted for Iraq troop financing except on one occasion. In May 2007, he voted against a troop-funding bill because it did not also specify steps for a withdrawal.

And McCain has not always voted for money for the troops. On one troop-funding bill supported by Obama, McCain missed the vote and encouraged President Bush to veto it, because it did call for withdrawal.

All the McCain campaign has is lies, but it is astounding to me to see the media actually correcting the lies! Very heartening, for a change.
