Over the last 12 days. 100% of McCain's ads have been negative

[cali]

compared to 34% of Obama's. Just heard that on ABC.

100% negative is desperate and insane. He's gotta be turning off more people than he's attracting.

And this morning he's releasing a TV Ayers ad. They just showed part of it on ABC. It depicts Ayers and Obama side by side, and as the commentator said, it goes about as far as you can go.

Desperate feint to get people talking about something other than the economic crash and the Alaskan Legislature report on troopergate.

There's an inner circle of hell reserved for La Barracuda and the creepy old man.

1. Pathetic, isn't it?

Goes to show you what happens when people get desperate.

2. I heard that on NPR yesterday

and the man being interviewed stated that only about 1/3 of Obamas are negative and that Obama addresses the issues. :)

3. I'm not surprised at the Obama percentages. I am at McCain's.

To go with 100% negative is suicidal, not that I mind McCain opening his political wrists.

4. I get the giggles thinking about what McCain is doing to HIMSELF.

He's done. :7

6. It's amazing. Just look at what this assh*le has done to his legacy?

He could have gone out well liked and respected.

Well, relatively so, anyway.

8. He's going to return to a very hostile Senate

he's said and done things that can't be undone, and there will be a lot more dems in the chamber.

5. Fears, smears, and sneers are all McSewer and Snidekick have left. nt

7. Biden has been mentioning that during his speeches. nt

9. We are getting a lot of smear ads from McLame here in NM

But Obama has an ad on where he talks about his economic plan and points out that no one making less than 250k will pay more taxes and that Seniors making less than 50k will not pay taxes at all.
It is very effective, while McLame is all about the liberal Obama and his liberal allies.
He is going down in NM and taking his rethugs with him.

10. Believe it or not, we've seen a relentless parade of negative McCain ads in northern VT

Obviously they're not directed at Vermonters but at northern NH, which is more conservative than Southern NH. All 4 local VT stations are unindated with negative ads from McCAin. Fortunately, Obama is also advertising heavily here.

11. Desperation....what happens when a loser has nothing left. n/t

12. Negative ads at a time like this only fire up the base. The problem being that McCain's base is

batshit nuts. So you get people yelling, "Kill him" at rallies.

I have heard over and over again in the past couple of days from real people that McCain's negative ads are pissing them off. They want to know what he will DO, not who Barack Obama was friends with.
