One thing I note is the "ego" of the NDA and UPA have deprived this nation of the people's choice Kalam. We will be stuck with a mediocre candidate Patil who has "baggage". This is unfortunate. We, as individuals, are advised to shed our ego. Maybe the same advice should be given to parties too!
These "sleezy games" at election time are part of the process and seem to happen all the time. They are healthy.There may be some truth to them.
