"it's been proven that Obama had the most negative ads all along ... with the exception of that one week."
LOL! The question wasn't who had the most negative ads, though feel free to launch into a partisan attack on Obama in response to a non-partisan question. Very convincing.
My view of the biggest mistake of each campaign is as follows:
1. Obama: not voting against the FISA bill this summer and giving McCain far too much credit for opposing torture when McCain didn't really do much. Obama let his base, along with myself, down here. We want justice. We want to see our government clean up its act and live up to high standards.
2. McCain: picking Palin and not coming up with a relevant, coherent message (here is a very interesting article today on McCain's changing messages: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/26/magazine/26mccain-t.html ).
my post was made in response to a post other than the original .. in case you didn't notice.
