Tad....when it comes right down to it I think just about ANY candidate would do whatever it takes to win the Presidency if they thought that they were the best person for the job. Thomas Jefferson 'hired' a guy to write BAD things about Adams even though Jefferson was Adam's Vice President at the time. Reagan COST Ford the 1976 election by running against him and trashing him in the nominating process. Clinton figures this is her ONLY shot at the Presidency and she's gonna pull out ALL the stops to get there if she can. Obama can play it COOL and stay above the fray because he's only 46 and will probably have several more opportunities. Besides that, he's based his whole campaign on being ABOVE all the nastiness of politics. John Kennedy got elected with an 'aura' of newness and shinyness, but his his Old Man Joe pulled out EVERY dirty trick in the book to get him elected. Then Bobby did everything he could to undermine Johnson to set himself up for 1968. Humphrey wanted Shriver to be his running mate in 1968 but the Kennedy Family said NO. They were willing to screw the party and Humphrey so their BOY Teddy could run in 1972. John McCain is one of the most honest men to ever run for President, but right now he's LYING about a lot of things he truly believes because he knows that he can't do ANYTHING if he can't get the nomination so he can win the General Election. The WHOLE system is set up so that if you want to run for President you have to appeal to the most skewed demographics of the electorate.
