Negative Ads

February 29, 2008

You know that it is your primary election is approaching when you begin experiencing the negative ads. Conventional wisdom tells us that these are these types of smears turn many off to the political process. But do you think that the opposite just might be true? According to U.S. News, negative ads can actually influence voters and even make them reexamine their choice. I must admit that as long as they are not a personal insult to a politician’s family, faith, values, etc., they can be very entertaining. How do you feel about these ads?

    I agree with your stance. I don’t mind them, but focus on the record and not stupid and petty things.

    Outcast - Thanks so much for leaving a comment. Don’t you think that when a candidate draws attention to the record or their opponent in and ad and compares it with her/his own, that is often considered “negative” even though it could be completely true?

    Yes - and that’s ridiculous.

Got something to say?
