MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama's spokesman on Saturday accused Sen. John McCain of "cynically running the sleaziest and least honorable campaign in modern presidential campaign history." Sen. Barack Obama blasts his rival, Sen. John McCain, at a rally in Manchester, New Hampshire, Saturday.
Obama, speaking to a crowd Saturday in Manchester, New Hampshire, said, "John McCain wants to have a debate about national security; let's have that debate. I warned that going into Iraq would distract us from Afghanistan. John McCain cheerleaded for it. John McCain was wrong, and I was right."
"The McCain-[Sarah] Palin ticket, they don't want to debate the Obama-Biden ticket on issues because they are running on eight more years of what we've just seen. And they know it," the Democratic presidential nominee said. "As a consequence, what they're going to spend the next seven, eight weeks doing is trying to distract you.
"They're going to talk about pigs, and they're going to talk about lipstick; they're going to talk about Paris Hilton, they're going to talk about Britney Spears. They will try to distort my record, and they will try to undermine your trust in what the Democrats intend to do."

From a campaign whose surrogates have said Palin’s baby should have been aborted?
I don’t think Sarah Palin and her family would agree.
Obama said his campaign was “not going to be politics as usual”. Well, he can’t hide behind surrogates.

Who’d he warn? The Illinois State Senate?
Yeah, and Obama is going to talk about how McCain can’t use a computer because he is a POW.
Deck chairs....
[”The McCain-[Sarah] Palin ticket, they don’t want to debate the Obama-Biden ticket on issues because they are running on eight more years of what we’ve just seen. And they know it,” the Democratic presidential nominee said.]
This from the guy who refused to do townhall debates after saying he would.
Btw, where is the McCain camp? They need to answer these attacks as this seems to be the way the Obama camp is heading.
Senator Obama, why have you been too cowardly to participate in the townhall debates that McCain challenged you to?
Mr. “lipstick on a pig”, “still smells like dead fish”, what else would you like to teach us about “sleaze”?
Get ready.
This is the Dems MO, Accuse the other side to innoculate yourself when you run the sleaziest campaign ever.
Is that the sound of a dumptruck full of manure backing up?
Translation: The McCain campaign is kicking our butts and we don't like it! STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!!! Waaaaa!
You can’t make this stuff up and we still have a long way to go.
Forget the polls and the electoral map folks. They are already dissecting defeat and we just entered the homestretch.
Did he just call Palin sleazy?
The PUMA’s are not gonna like this.

What a maroon this guy is, bringing it up yet again. McCain isn't talking about it; Palin isn't talking about it. Barry spends too much time surfing the net.
The McCain camp should not let attacks like this go unanswered. What is the tactic, repeat something often enough and people will accept it as truth. That seems to be the Obama campaign and the media’s new line of attack—McCain is running a sleazy and dishonest campaign.
