haha I think most independents know that the race is close, and obama has a slight lead.
Mccain is resorting to attacking based upon things that aren't facts ("Obama didn't visit the troops because he couldn't bring a camera crew" when he has no crew scheduled and didn't bring a crew when he met wounded men in iraq - the mccain campaign retracted the ad today and said "well, that was the info we had yesterday")
Mccain need some meat to attack obama with. He doesn't have it yet.
