Target: Presidential Campaigns

How many houses does John McCain have? Is Barack Obama a celebrity? Is the media coverage of Sarah Palin sexist? Is Joe Biden showing too much emotion when he tears up over how his sons became Steelers fans?
More importantly, why are these the questions dominating the news cycle? The 2008 presidential election should be about the issues, and the over-coverage of the non-political aspects of this presidential race is disheartening.
Instead of focusing on negative attacks on each other, both candidates' campaigns should make a concerted effort to have their views on the issues be what people are talking about. Voters will then be able to decide which candidate's views match their own most closely on the issues that matter to them. Tell the candidates: Stick to the issues!
