there is more 'dirt' on Obama..and MC Cain knows it......

If Obama goes negative he opens the door for McCain to do the same.

There is a difference, at least in the minds of most people, between "going negative" and running ads that simply point out the problems with another candidate as McCain has done to date.

"Going negative" in most people's minds is more aggressive than McCain's ads have been. And there is plenty of fodder with Obama -- his terrorist ties, his total lack of experience, and his extreme liberalism all are unexploited to date (McCain HAS touched on Obama's inexperience, but barely -- there is much, much more than can be done with it).

If Obama goes negative against McCain it is going to open the floodgates for McCain to bash Obama in return. Frankly, there is very little McCain can be bashed on, but Obama is a ripe target.
