It's normal for presidential campaigns to attempt to paint the opposition as misguided, inept, inexperience and unready to lead the nation. You'll even find campaigns seeing fit to paint opponents as reckless ideologues who would bring on nuclear annihilation. Or they'll be cast as reckless ideologues who would release dangerous sociopaths amongst us. But, it's pretty rare to find instances of campaigns who will come out and essentially charge the opposition with being in league with the devil. That, however, is what the Obama camp is accusing the McCain campaign of doing - by running an internet spot implying that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ.

The Maya built one of the larger empires in the "New World" at the time -- one that lasted from at least 1800 BC to at least 1697. They were known to have had some knowledge of complex math, and believed in a cyclical course of existence based on astronomy. Their calendar system has begun to raise attention again, ages after their civilization fell, because the current Mayan age ends at about December 21, 2012.
