Some Poli Sci department or grad student should study this campaign.

When I ask why the media seems to encourage it, I was refering to this campaign campared to previous ones... I don't remember there being that many programs that had people from both parties going at each other so "enthusiastically"; I remember debates and discussions - not cheap shots and sound bites. Nor do I remember the parties actually using a political stance as an insult before - you know using "liberal" or "conservative" as some sort of insulting label?
