Taking The Gloves Off? McCain Supporters Urge Their Candidate To "Just Go At Him"

(CBS)

From CBS News' John Bentley:

(DENVER) – Despite running commercials that have compared Barack Obama to Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton, as well as alleging sexism over Obama making comments about putting "lipstick on a pig," the crowd at this women's town hall here did not believe John McCain has attacked his opponent enough in this election.

"When are you going to take the gloves off and just go at him?" a woman asked, to loud cheering from the audience.

"How about Tuesday night?" McCain answered to more applause, referring to his second debate between Obama next week.

"I respect Sen. Obama for what he has achieved," McCain said. "I will try to draw out those stark differences between us, and be respectful, because Americans want a respectful campaign and I want you to be proud of my campaign."
