This is my first election campaign in the US in many years; I see negative ads from both sides that turn me off from voting at all sometimes.

I was referring to Rove's public speech a while back that the way to overcome the Republican deficit on many important issues was to go negative and personalize campaigns, to take out the national element (i.e. Bush and his policies).

Now that looks like a major backfire as the stories come out about Republicans personally screwing up in major ways. Which then has a national impact on how the whole party looks.

Barring some major turn in sentiment the next three weeks, this will go down as the midterm election where the ugly stick got turned on the folks who came to power wielding it.
