For a long time, Barack Obama argued for a "new kind of politics" in which people of good faith could "disagree without being disagreeable." But now that the last six weeks of the campaign are approaching, he's advising his supporters in the battleground state of Nevada to get downright nasty:
"I need you to go out and talk to your friends and
talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are
independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue
with them and get in their face," he said.
