Both sides have shown an affinity for such dark arts. For months, the AFL-CIO and its affiliates have been blanketing swing states with direct mail promoting Obama and attacking McCain for his "$520 Italian loafers." A union group called Wake Up Wal-Mart is running ads in swing states condemning McCain's "Bush-style corporate tax breaks," while the liberal group Catholics United has an ad saying McCain does not "defend all human life" because, among other issues, he supported the war in Iraq...
...game too. The National Rifle Association plans tens of millions of direct-mail pieces attacking Obama as being a threat to hunters, and has television ads already running in Colorado and New Mexico, where voters can cast their ballots early. An outfit known as BornAliveTruth.org has been advertising in swing states with the misleading claim that Obama supports the death of fetuses born after failed abortions. (Obama opposed an Illinois senate bill he said could have jeopardized other abortion statutes; at the time, Illinois law required doctors to save the lives of all viable fetuses after birth.) In Michigan...

Second, that you can speak truth to power and, if you have a following, power will still have to come back to reach your audience. (You could call this election's crucial swing bloc Wal-Mart moms or mortgage moms--or you could just call them fans of The View.)

(Similarly, Obama probably did himself more good in his combative interview with Fox's Bill O'Reilly than in his softball...

...Obama can't afford to wait. Since the Palin pick, the Obama campaign has stepped up its game with all female voters. During the Republican Convention, Obama's team was running radio ads and sending out direct mail on the abortion issue in swing states. It is dispatching more of its most prominent female supporters - including Clinton - to campaign for Obama and argue his case on the airwaves. In Pennsylvania the Obama field operation put together a "Take Your Daughter to Canvass" day; in Florida it was organizing one of Obama's trademark megarallies specifically for women, offering tickets...
