Negative Ads

Remember, people say they do not like negative ads. But negative ads are effective. Right now with his untruthful negative ads about Obama, McCain is portraying Obama as someone you do not want to vote for. So who will you vote for? You will vote for someone other than Obama.
This is developing into a tight Rovian campaign. Negative ads, negative books, purging of voter lists, and more "problems" with voting machines and vote counting. The issues will be seldom addressed and for those who said it couldn't happen once and then that it couldn't happen twice, I say third time could be the charm/same.
Obama is going to have to go negative with ads on McCain in a big way. For the sensibilities of Obama voters it should be outside organizations that do it. But Obama himself is going to have to say harsh things about McCain also.
Do you know that the McCain organization had critical ads of Obama ready to go, accusing him of using the troops for political purposes, if he did visit troops in the German military hospital. So it would be heads Obama loses or tails he loses.
McCain has hitched his wagon to the low-road express.
