MO and the mudslinging

Leading to the election, a lot of groups took advantage of Youtube and other online means to get their propaganda on. While it was a fantastic show of everyday folks participating in civic engagement, many used it to further smear campaigns. During the election, I was relieved that the Obama campaign didn't play dirty (or at least made it seem like it wasn't an objective...I'm not really sure how it played out in every element of the camp.) and relied on the dignity of the4 Obamas, and the integrity of the American people. I think it even affected the way the McCain camp responded to Obama during the election; the best example I can think of is McCain's concession speech --- his supporters blindly "boo"ed at hearing Obama's name, and McCain responded by telling them to calm down. That was good of him. (Personally, I thought that McCain's audience was a little tacky for acting that way.)

In any case, here's the Tennessee GOP on Michelle Obama:
