"Ready to Lead? No. Ready to Smear? Yes."Posted by Stop-The-Attacks in Sarah Palin, Republican Attacks, John McCain, Democrat Attacks, Barack Obama |

Well, it seems we were not alone in viewing the most recent pig SNAFU as a personal attack aimed squarely at John McCain's running mate Gov. Sarah Palin.
Team McCain wasted no time firing back with a video using the tagline: "Ready to Lead? No. Ready to Smear? Yes."
The video begins with "Sarah Palin on: Sarah Palin" and recounts her joke from the RNC convention last week; the video then switches to "Barack Obama on: Sarah Palin" that invokes a similar pig quip.
Have a look at the political attack at that fires back at Obama for attacking pok(y):
[UPDATE: YouTube pulled the video due to a "copyright claim by CBS Interactive Inc." The ad used a photo and a video clip of CBS News anchor Katie Couric. ]
Two wrongs don't make a right, or so the story goes. Both camps were wrong and with each passing day, it seems Americans are getting sick and tired of all the nasty mudslinging.
New polls suggest a 20-point swing in the woman vote toward McCain, from an 8-point swing in favor of Obama after his convention to a 12-point lead in the white woman vote for the McCain-Palin ticket.
...and that's not putting lipstick on a pig.
