So he's the second republican who knows how it feels to have somebody snoop over your shoulder into you private info. Palin I think was the first - someone peeked into her yahoo account?
Mudy, don't empathize/sympathize with these people. Not that I approve the methods, all I'm saying is that what goes around, comes around.

Viren, I think u are missing the point, which is, a candidate whose supporters are the liberals and UCLU members, who are against snooping laws and think patriot law is intrusive, have resorted to snooping and hacking to bring down opponents, which is what Nixon did and resigned for. The point is about hypocrisy of Obama supporters.
I supported Hillary during primary and now am not sure about either of the two. This election started about Obama and the thinking was that if Obama could prove that he is fit to lead, the presidency is his. Obama was proved this by default. All McCain had to do was to show what he was the more stable one, which is where he failed spectacularly. That deer-in-the-headlights act of suspending campaign cost him a lot. Some plausible explanation/idea for the economy would have made it a much closer race. He might have still lost, given the banking failures. At this stage we can only hope that President Obama is not Governor Deval Patrick 2.
