For some reason, the standards have changed. Luckily, people are actually smarter than the opposition media and their political pals on issues like this.

It's going to get really mean. And it's going to get really ugly. And the Washington Post, Microsoft, and NBC are going to be leading the charge to keep Barack Obama out of the White House.
