The Dem campaign is negative... I didn't mean negative in the sense of issue contrasts, I meant negative in the Republican sense when they attack war-hero's like Max Cleland as not being patriotic or moderate senators like Mary Landrieu as being ultra-liberals who hang out in hollywood and want to give drug addicts needles and any other crap they made up with messages sounding like they were coming from Bill Clinton.
That is negative campaigning at its finest and of course it's from Republicans. Since people don't agree with them on the issues.
Sorry to break it to you, but people do agree with Reoublicans on a lot of issues. Not all people are New England Liberals. The Republicans and Democrats are both big parties with a lot of supporters and they both do negative campaigning.
