Will going negative help McCain?
Bob from Chicago writes:
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.
John from Fort Collins, Colorado writes:
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.
Jake writes:
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.
Dee writes:
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!
Tim writes:
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.
What say you?

No I agree with Bob, John, and Tim.
Vote Obama 08

McCain hasn’t gone negative. He’s pointed out the obvious with Obama–all flash and no substance. Obama on the other hand wants to paint a picture of him being persecuted by the Republican party because he is black. Which is not the case. Comrade Obama has gone negative playing the inevitable race card just like everyone knew he would.

I don’t think it will make much difference to those who have already decided who they are going to vote for. The ad comparing Obama to Paris Hilton is a bit silly.

My opinion which suggest false racism as an excuse against whites for her poor work performance only verifies the tree.
For her poor work performance only now to question your integrity and honesty the word raciest people start to claim racism only verifies the tree.
For years that he is no different then the apple only verifies the girl that he is it when you can only now to question your integrity and gain should be questioned you hear the tree.
