According to this article, it all started when John McCain said Obama was a celebrity like Paris Hilton and Briney Spears. It goes on to say that his own mother thought it was a bad idea. He should've listened to his mother.

Reading that it kind of sounds like black mail. Wonder if he realizes that?

it's been proven that Obama had the most negative ads all along ... with the exception of that one week.

Yeah...I didn't even consider those. That would make McCain the clear winner of the "most negative ads" title.

Robocalls are also the most infuriating, so I think each one should count as two, LOL!

>>That wasn't an attack ad. It was an ad that McCain launched about Obama. It wasn't attacking him, it stated the facts about Obama's record. He didn't compare Obama to Britney Spears or Paris Hilton.<<

I don't have sound on my computer so I didn't click on the youtube link. I think this might be a little bit of splitting hairs. Can you explain to me the difference between attack ads and negative ads. I know the article I read said it was a negative ad.
