Informative
Well, it's refreshing to know that some folks do post something intelligent and informative.
Unfortunately there are many buffoons whose mouths are like the rear end of a cow and each time they open their yaps it's only to expel another load of crap!
. . . Yes, you know who you are and dumb enough to even labeled yourself as such!

The provision was intended to force political candidates running any campaign for office in the United States to associate themselves with their television and radio advertising, thereby discouraging them from making controversial claims or attack ads.

In American politics, " I approve this message" (sometimes in the past tense, also with "authorize" in place of "approve" or with "ad" instead of "message") is a phrase said by candidates for federal office to comply with this provision.

In return, Adams' men called Vice President Jefferson "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."

It got even dirtier after that campaign I think...
That when the rumor of him having children with his servants arose wasn't it?

True. And the accuser, James Callender, was found floating in the James River a few months later. Autopsy said he drowned "accidentally" while taking a bath.

Actually they do, but they're staying on script claiming it was an "accident":

Callender had many, many enemies, but it is also entirely possible he did die "accidentally."

Just because he fathered her children I don't think that made Jefferson a bad person. In my mind Sally and Tommy had a respectful yet secretive relationship I couldn't imagine a man such as Thomas Jefferson forcing a himself on a woman against his will.But that's just me.
Extra Note: after reading that article Callender seems like a modern day Rush.

Jefferson and Adams later became great friends and corresponded for years. They both died the same day, the fourth of July 1826, the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams last words were "Jefferson still survives."
If you like history, I recommend the HBO miniseries on John Adams; it's excellent.

It is still a controversial subject. Jefferson had promised his dying wife, Martha - for the rights of her children, he would not marry again. Also of note, Martha's father was also Sally’s father; Martha and Sally were half-sisters. It’s possible Jefferson’s affair with Sally was prompted by characteristics and attributes Sally may have shared with his wife.
Someone once wrote that Callender was "drunken, vicious and depraved, albeit talented."

I think the gent discussing what Mitt Romney did with Bain Capital ads are pretty negative and out of character with the Obama campaign. I guess if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit comes into play.

Lessons Learned
There are some bitter lessons learned in each campaign.
I don't think John Kerry really expected the Swift Boat attacks and they were brutal when they blasted him out of the water!
I think President Obama learned much from those underhanded tactics and is determined to beat them to the punch this time!
. . . The gloves will be off for this election!

Mistaken
You are quite mistaken.
John Kerry would have made a much, much better President than the village idiot that we got instead.
John served heroically in Viet Nam and was even courageous enough to oppose that foolish war, but the problem was that some thought he was unpatriotic because he opposed it.
. . . Viet Nam was as stupid a war as the invasion of Iraq.
