A few days ago I was talking to someone about the election. This person is well educated, reads the PD and Sun News, watches TV news and is a very active senior citizen. This person works full time and uses the internet well. When talking about Obama I was surprised to hear this person say "aren't you concerned about his terrorist connections?" At first I thought she was referring to Bill Ayers, but she soon clarified things by saying that she received emails almost daily about Obama secretly being a Muslim, refusing to show his birth certificate, etc. This insidious, online, slanderous champaign against Obama, something that I previously had no knowledge of, sickened me. These emails obviously have had great power over a percentage of voters. I have not seen them myself yet, but they sound far uglier and ever more dishonest than the negative TV ads we are inundated with. For me, this election has taken the form of a battle of good against evil.
