The Link Despite perceptions that Sen. John McCain has spent more time on the attack, Sen. Barack Obama aired more negative advertising last week than did the Arizona Republican, says a study released yesterday. Seventy-seven percent of the Illinois Democrat's commercials were negative during the week after the Republican National Convention, compared with 56 percent of the spots run by McCain. ad_icon "It suggests that the Sarah Palin pick and the newfound aggressiveness by McCain got into Obama's head a little bit," Goldstein said. "He was under great pressure to show some spine, be aggressive, fire back."
It's one thing to run an accurate negative ad, but when his campaign runs the intentionally deceptive crap they've been running, it will only backfire.
Did it say what percentage of Obama's negative ads were lies? (Such as the one claiming McCain was lying about Obama supporting a bill advocating sex education for kindergarten children, when he clearly did support a bill that tried to do exactly that?)
This is because everything about John McCain sucks. It is impossible to have an ad about him that isn't negative.
Good week for Obama. Back up in the polls, McCain changing his stripes and making flubs left and right, BO staying on message and events are proving much of his message matrix to be dead on target. Haters gotta hate.
Here's another negative ad by Obama, this one attacking McCain's advisors. yep, it kicks McCain's *** .
