An Example of How John McCain's and Barack Obama's Campaign's Differ.

Notice the symbol McCain uses for his campaign signage. If I didn't know any better, I'd swear McCain wants people to think he's a Rear Admiral even though the records state that he retired as a Captain. The medals he's he's been awarded with look nothing like his campaign "icon." While it's common knowledge (at least in political circles) that he wanted to be an Admiral like his father and grandfather, I really don't think that the fact that he's a Captain and not anything higher is a bad thing.


If Barack Obama was a typical, petty, character-attacking politician, I'm sure his campaign would have pointed this out by now. After all, Obama's been accused of not wearing flag pins and not covering his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance, and he's politically justified to play tit-for-tat.

But then again: if he did he wouldn't be Barack Obama.
