Obama and McCain may not be as riveting as Palin and Biden, but then again it could be a real fight night, given the latest smears and attacks.

Unfortunately the media has tried the Casey Anthony case as if Caylee Anthony is not alive. While the odds may not be in Caylee's favor, more than a remote possibility exists that Caylee was abandoned, neglected or given away. A worse scenario is accidental death and a coverup.
