I've Been Thinking:

Both the Democrats and the Republicans have spent a lot of time these past few days pointing accusatory fingers and saying that the other side has gotten personal.
Of course they got personal, that's the American way.

In American politics the election is about character, it's about issues that relate to a party leader not just for what he thinks but also for what he does.

In America voters are more interested in a nominee's character than they are in his stand on issues. It's not for the sake of gossip, it's for insight into the character of the candidate.

In American elections today a candidate's friends and activities are as important as his tax returns. And they may be even more important than his health care plan. Most Americans cannot or will not understand the tax plan, the health plan or the plan a candidates puts forth for social security, but they will understand the associates and affiliations of the candidate.

In America today the election is not about drugs and whether or not someone inhaled, it is about whether the voter can trust a candidate and whether the voter believes in the candidate.

In America the voter makes that determination based on a series of variables and one of the top ranking variables in the minds of most voters is very, very personal.
