When Negative ads becomes a joke, no ads will be effective. Things are changing folks....Change we can believe in.

2. I think '08 proved negative ads don't amount to anything.

McCain was nothing but negative ads the final few months of the campaign and they barely moved the needle in his favor ... in fact, he lost support.

Romney's scorched earth policy is going to backfire.

3. SNL used to mock negative ads in the late 80's

They had an hilarious one wherein Mario Cuomo was a "murderer." It said it in that fear-voiceover, with the dark images: "Mario Cuomo. He's a murderer." We used to laugh and say it all the time.
