I hate all negative ads, in fact some times I will vote for the person who has most negative ads about them, because it shows a lack of maturity from their opponent. One that comes to mind was in a local election here in Louisiana where a candidate showed a picture of his opponent in a diaper. I voted for the diaper guy because of that ad.

WASHINGTON -- Vice President Dick Cheney said Tuesday he thinks Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton could win the presidency. He said Sen. Barack Obama might be viewed by voters as too inexperienced. Cheney handicapped the Democratic field of potential candidates in an interview with conservative talk show host Sean Hannity. What you have is not stay the course but in fact a study in constant motion, White House press secretary Tony Snow said yesterday.

I disagree with her on nearly all the issues, but nobody should underestimate her. She's a very serious candidate for president." Cheney said Obama, an Illinois Democrat, was an "attractive guy. Don't know him well, met him a few times. I think at this stage, my initial take on him was he's been two years as a senator. I think people might want a little more experience than that, given the nature of the times we live in. But certainly, he's an attractive candidate. If he decides to run, he'll be a player on the Democratic side." Obama said Sunday he was considering a run for president in 2008, backing off previous statements that he would not do so. As for himself, Cheney said he would not budge from his oft-stated decision that he will not run for president. "It's firm, final, fixed, irrevocable," the vice president said. "I don't know how else I can say it. If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve." Cheney also said he was optimistic about Republican hopes in the Nov. 7 elections. "I think we'll hold both the House and the Senate." Last week, Cheney raised eyebrows when he sounded less sure about GOP prospects. "I think we'll hold the Senate and I also think we got a good shot at holding the House," he told Rush Limbaugh. Karl Rove, President Bush's chief political strategist, dismissed national polls and argued that based on individual polls Republicans will hold onto the House and Senate. He made the comments in an interview with NPR's "All Things Considered." "I think Iraq and the economy play a role in virtually every race. But there are also local considerations in the local contest between two individuals that at the end of the day matters for great deal of the contest," Rove said.
