Instead, he&#8217;s running the most negative presidential campaign in modern history.<\/p>\n<p>In the past few days, we&#8217;ve seen the beginning of a major offensive that McCain is about to launch, filled with distortions, personal attacks, and flat-out lies about Barack.<\/p>\n<p>But you can help fight back by getting involved at the grassroots level &#8212; knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to undecided voters about what really matters in this election.<\/p>\n<p>Commit at least one day to make sure Barack gets the votes we need to win:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They&#8217;ve both been trash talking like prize fighters all weekend, they&#8217;ll be roaming the stage and &hellip; <a title=\"The Second Obama\/McCain Debate\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=3764\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The Second Obama\/McCain Debate<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,39,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-john-mccain","category-politics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3764","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3764"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3764\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3764"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3764"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3764"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
