Negativity in Presidential Politics

[Ben.]

I really hope that Bush goes negative too... it will lose him the election faster than he misplaced that cumbersome budget surplus... Bush's big advantage is he is generally viewed as a nice and decent guy he goes very negative he loses that... so please go negative... go really negative...

I think there is a hell of a lot of common ground between most members of each party... the two reasons is the growing strength of radicals on both the left and the right in defining their party's programs... and added to this the rise in adversarial politics... mostly because its good TV... shame really...
