I have contacted both campaigns to get a statement from them on their commitment to civility. The response (or lack thereof) was predictable.
From Camp McCain:
Hello Summer -
Thank you for your request. Your email has been forwarded to our staff members, and someone from the campaign will be in touch shortly. Please let us know if we can do anything else to assist you.
Best,
McCain-Palin 2008, Press Office
From Camp Obama:
Nothing yet. I did however, manage to end up on their mailing list unsolicited and have received several pleas for donations and campaign assistance.
We encourage one and all to contact the campaigns directly to solicit a response about civility. Ask them to promote civility and expect the same of their constituents. A top down approach, starting from the candidates will be the quickest to affect change in the way politics as usual is done. Here is the contact information:
