Will going negative help McCain?

McCain is an angry old man with a nasty temper. He has no positives. He has to go negative. It appears there never was a Straight Talk Express. That was just a mirage. This is the real John McCain.

Although negative campaigning has been successful in previous elections, this time around the attack ads are backfiring on John McCain. The fair-minded, moderate McCain who earned so much respect in his career has been morphed into an old, bitter Eddie Haskell character. He should fire his campaign staff, then reverse course and make every attempt possible to restore his dignity.

Absolutely. America is full of “low information voters” who believe anything they hear. Thinking and being informed is too hard and time-consuming for us Americans. It’s so much easier to just vote against someone based on distortions, lies, and negative ads.

I think McCain’s negativity is what is keeping the polls so close. And anyways he’s not really being all that negative, he’s only pointing out the obvious: that Obama is not experienced enough for us to put our country in his hands!

If the American people buy into this fear-mongering from the Republican hatchet men yet again, we deserve what we get: another 4 years of catastrophically bad leadership.
