"And negative is the tone for the latest Obama ad, a 30-second spot aimed at key states that uses McCain''s own words against him and mocks running mate Sarah Palin."

This is not negative, as it is based on words from McSame''s own mouth, and thus gives a more accurate picture of the motivation, qualification, judgment, and temperament of "really ol'' boy" McSame, and at the end reminds all about "I can see Russia from my house" Palin''s failure to grasp the nature of questions put to her.

It apparently does these things without much added comment, giving the viewers credit for being able to judge for themselves.

Negative would be the McSame/Palin attempt to use lies, like him being a Muslim, or coded appeals to racism, such as "he''s not one of us," and totally unsupported comments like "surrendering in Iraq", and fear mongering such as the statement about Mr. Obama raising taxes, while everyone knows that Mr. Obama simply will let Bush''s cuts expire, which is not a raise, but a restoration.

If McSame can quote Mr. Obama with full sentences, in the original context, in the same way that Mr. Obama quotes McSame, on the issues, and not irrelevant smears, then McSame would also not be negative.

Problem is that on the issues, McSame bites it big time, as he is no more than Bush re-wrapped.
