In the grand scheme of American politics, Obama's campaign hardly ranks as the filthiest; the GOP has him all beat in that regard.
Think 1972 with Watergate. Think 1980 with the October Surprise. Think 1988 with Willie Horton. Think 2000 with Bush v. Gore. Think 2004 with Ohio. Nope, the GOP rules when it comes to presidential election filth, smears, dirty tricks, and outright fraud.
However, if you look at the history of Democratic primaries, Obama has no equal in the filthy politics department. But that was then. This is now.
Obama and especially his campaign of surrogates have had their tactics firmly in the gutter, but it's pretty tepid stuff compared to the GOP's history.
