More realistically, how many ads depict a candidate rambling on about negative half-truths about their opponents, and how many are positive?

You do know that if all your ads are directed at your opponent, saying that he did this or he voted for that and things can only get worse if he wins, then you haven't said anything about yourself. And if you haven't said anything about ypurself, your policies, or even your beliefs then you are definitely hoping that the "idiot vote" pulls for you at the polls.

I shudder to thing of the level of voter fruad THIS election year will bring.

When you have a Democratis state rep (Andrews) fabricating false claims against her opponent (Lee), and has no evidence whatsoever to back up her hair-brained claim, you can see how the desparate politicians will act when they start to lose to their (Republican) opponents.

All I can say is "Let the games begin!"

Now the Warren ads are calling "foul" for Brown attacking her on her supposed "minority" status regarding her indian heritage.

What a joke!

She cries "foul" when the Republican opponent calls her on something she was hoping nobobdy would have caught her on, yet she and her campaign were the first to sully the political waters with their mud-slinging from square one!

Maybe she should just suck it up and try to campaign on something TRUE for a change, since she is part of that Oh-so-holy "Hope and Change" party.

It's funny that her attack ads are only focusing on ONE topic, and they are hoping that if they get enough uninformed, clueless satellite star has-beens to say it that it will eventually become true.
Meanwhile Scott Brown has been holding off from bringing out ALL the potential skeletons Warren has hanging in her closet.
I wanted to see a clean, well fought campaign (which Brown started with) but after way too many Warren muck-fest ads, it's clear who has mud on HER face!!

Isn't it also funny that the two major campaigns being thrown in our faces day after day, that one party is content to tell us what they believe, what they plan to do and what they stand for, and the other is content to attack them for doing what they should be doing?

Even more to the point:

What has Warren done for "the people"?????

All of her ads are aimed at what Brown has done, or will do, but she hasn't (and probably CAN'T without letting more skeletons out of her closet) told us one thing that she did.

Sadly, even though Brown has done what he said he would do, being bi-partisan and all, this state will blindly vote for Warren because,and JUST because she is a Democrap.

Then if she should win, and things go south real fast (as they will under current Dem policies) these same voters will pull the "Blame the Republican" card and whine away without accepting their role in the results!

Boy, I hope more and more dems wake up and stop drinking the M#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& koolaid and start thinking with their heads and not their......Well, you know what I mean.
