Those campaigns were certainly dirty, but not on the scale we have today. McCain's supporters are accusing Obama of being a terrorists, or hanging out with them. They are making up bogus stories about his birth certificate not being authentic in an effort to take attention away from the fact that McCain isn't a natural-born American citizen. They doctor photos, they make racist comments, they lie and lie and lie and lie. And unlike the elections you mentioned, now we've got the internet and hundreds of television stations constantly barraging us with these negative smear campaigns plus biased radio shows by morons like Savage, Hannity, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Coulter, etc.

In two of the elections you mentioned, we had fewer states than we do now, and in all of them we had a lot less people.
