Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader visited Illinois State University today to talk to students about civic engagement.

But not before he expressed his disappointment in the other presidential hopefuls and their mud–slinging campaigns.

Today, Nader said enough was enough...he even scrutinized Presidential Candidate Barak Obama for comments made about small town Midwesterners. At any rate, many students at ISU believe Obama is still the best man for the job.

Last week Obama, while discussing Midwest towns, made comments about bitter blue collar workers.
Shortly thereafter, Presidential Candidate Hilary Clinton attempted to use the comments to turn voters against him.

Today Ralph Nader declared it dirty campaigning that had to stop. He called it...

"Juvenile dialogue that is embarrassing and demeaning to the voters, and to anyone else looking at this country from around the world."

Nader suggests that voters ought to expect more from their elected officials, and hold them accountable for their childish antics.
But Illinois students seem to have only one candidate in mind.

"I'm definitely choosing Obama", said ISU student Renee Costanzo.

Another ISU student, Allison Graham said, "I would probably say Obama."

Meanwhile, ISU student Ben Hansen said, "I'm not terribly impressed with any of them, but Obama's my best bet."

Despite the strong support for Obama, many ISU students are tired of the scrappy campaigning by the front running candidates and some are exploring other options

Jovan Mladinic says that Ron Paul is his guy.

"I would say his views on anything from the border, to guns, to abortion, to drug use, anything that common people...he is not an eliteist, he doesn't take tax summations from corporations. He kinda wants to give us our money back", said Mladinic.

If the scathing comments continue between the major candidates, perhaps underdogs like Ron Paul may have a better chance at the Presidency.
