I have to give respect to McCain for at least trying to tone down his supporters. I saw some footage of him on cnn where he was saying nice things about Obama. He was actually booed by his own people at a rally for suggesting people should be respectful of the other side.

He is not afraid to keep running misleading ads but at least he was willing to tell some of his supporters they were wrong about him. Kudos to him for it.

Had I not seen how badly people were reacting to negativity in the last debate, I might have thought he as trying to go positive because it is the right thing to do. I think that's part of his motivation - but I also think that people are telling him that negative is polling badly, and going positive will win him voters.

I really think that version of him on the stage telling people to be civil and respectful is the more truthful version of who he is. I think the party machine told him he had to go negative to win and he went along. Which ever the reason though I applaud the public voice saying He wait a minute, The other side is not evil. I wish we had more voices saying things like that.
