Negative ads are a terrible thing. Of course they've been going on since the beginning, but when they really got traction in the TV age was Lee Atwater's Willie Horton ad. But Rove takes it way beyond, often using surogates. The entire Smearvets campaign was terrible. In coming weeks, expect 90 million bucks in negative GOP ads on the airwaves. Why? Because they have nothing positive to boast about. No peace, prosperity only for the rich (with huge deficit spending) and everything else basically a big mess. Notice Kerry ran a very positive campaign. But it didn't work, did it? We the voters are the only ones who can change that. We need to start punishing candidates who run negative ads, at least ones which are inaccurate.
