How desperate and unscrupulous will McCain and Palin get as they continue sliding in the polls?

Remember...Immanuel Kant's categorical imperative...the general idea is to "do unto others not as I would like done unto me, but as they wish...the way others treat me is the way they should be treated". Given..., that we respect another person's right to make a choice...Therefore, I think that once McCain's campaign has begun a "down and dirty" ad campaign smearing Obama using terrorist and traitor to define Obama...then McCain and Palin should expect...for all liberal media (and Obama ads) to begin dregging up the Alaskan Independent Party ociation and Senator Ted Stevens ociation with Palin...along with the Keating 5 scandal for John McCain...I'd love to see that happen...along with the discussion of economics and so forth.
