What if Michelle Obama were a wife who not only became addicted to pain killers, but acquired them illegally through her charitable organization; what if Cindy McCain graduated from Harvard?

What if Obama were a member of the ‘Keating 5′ (google it); what if McCain was a charismatic eloquent speaker?

What is it about this election that rationalizes and minimizes positive qualities in one candidate, and emphasizes negative qualities in another?
