Dear Hillary, Is This Really What You Want to Destroy?

You know, I'm just asking. Because the look on that little boy's face is really important to me. There was a time, I have to believe, when it was important to you. Are you really so determined to win that you would try to destroy that? Really?

Of course, Hillary will never read this, so this is really going out to the Hillary supporters who, if Gallup is to be believed, claim they would rather vote for John McCain.

Do you really want to be associated with a campaign to destroy what's depicted in that picture?

You really want to try to convince everyone that Barack Obama is a horrible person? That he doesn't love his country and, most importantly, its people?

You really want to try to convince everybody that that man above in that picture is not fit to be president?

You know, I'm just asking.

UPDATE: Just to be clear, this isn't about who wins. This is about not trying to character assassinate your opponent. It's about recognizing that even if you disagree with Obama, and think Hillary would be a better president, trying to convince the world that Barack Obama is a horrible person is not the way to get there.

I would say the same thing if I saw the Obama campaign trying to throw the kitchen sink at Hillary. But they aren't. To the dismay of many, Obama has refused to go for the jugular. That's the way it should be.
