Negative campaigns
I don't have a problem with negative campaigns. I think the tone of a campaign says as much about the attacked as it says about the attacker. How the attacked handles the attacks give us a peek into their make-up and helps determine the outcome of the election.
In this sense, I agree with Sarah Palin that she had every right to being up Obama's association with Bill Ayers. The American voters heard her and decided that the attacks were silly, to the point that they even backfired on the McCain/Palin ticket.
So no, I don't have a problem with Mrs. Palin talking up that point; it just puzzles why she continues to do it now, knowing that it reflects negatively on her.
Why is that? Stupidity? Stubbornness? Meanness? Take your pick. Whatever the reason, I just hope she keeps it up.
