What the HELL does that have to do with this? Legal, marginally legal, or whatever, this is about ethics. It's about conducting a clean campaign like McCain once (long ago) promised to do.
That promise stuck until he started falling so far behind in the polls that he grew desperate. Now he has 'operatives' and his pit bull VP candidate engaging in the worst sort of racist fear-mongering just for the sake of gaining power.
I'm sickened, and anyone with a brain and a conscience should be sickened as well.

As a liberal, you should be defending this.

And as an American, you should be condemning such thin, scurrilous inferences and the violent, tragic Pandora's box they promise to open.
To me, that's one hell of a lot more important than quibbles over the Constitution. Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates have an obligation to show the quality of leadership they would bring if elected.
Judging from what I'm seeing so far, McCain/Palin has exceeded all expectations for FAIL. They deserve to lose, and lose BIG next month.
God help us all if they win.
