Nothing has changed for me. What surprised me is after hearing McCain previously say how he would never run a dirty campaign it is sad to see how far a man I thought was honorable has fallen.

just curious how that makes you feel about Obama who said the same thing? I can post the non-partisan analysis that details that Obamas adds are also negative. ALso how about how Obama promised not to take public financing for his campaign? Do you have a problem with him not keeping a promise before he is even elected?

"That's Washington doublespeak," McCain responded. "I committed to public financing. He committed to public financing. It's not any more complicated than that. I'll keep my word, and I want him to keep his."

"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."

Every add I see for McCain is negative and about Obama. I don't see that in as many Obama ads and many of the ones I do are rebutals. I have seen non-partisians articles which state Mccain's add are far more neg. than Obamas.

So you are basing your vote on who has the least amount of negativity in their ads about the other party??? Don't matter who you vote for anyway...the electorals are going to choose the winner...stay home and bake bread!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Obama doesn't need to write his own negative ads. The Liberal Media is doing all his negative campaigning for him....
