Keep Hope Alive?

So this morning I wrote that I had hope that maybe this coming election cycle would not be as partisan and nasty as the last few have been.

And at 2:45PM, the Washington Post proved me wrong:

With only a slim, two-year record in the U.S. Senate, Obama doesn't have many controversial congressional votes which political opponents can frame into attack ads. But his eight years as an Illinois state senator are sprinkled with potentially explosive land mines, such as his abortion and gun control votes.

The man just announced his exploratory committee yesterday, and today we're talking attack ads?
