Let''s hope Americans have finally learned that this negative campaigning is not doing anyone any good and it is just a smoke screen to hide the reality from the people. In this case... the reality is that Obama is the better person for the job. Palin''s perky little personality is sickening.

If this gets dirty why not talk about the Keating 5 scandal which McCain was in the middle of.

He seems so secure that Obama won''t get dirty with him. Well, maybe Obama needs to get some of this out.

The Republican performance in this campaign is once again greatly disappointing. Don''t get me wrong, some of the Democrat ads have been less than stellar in the total honesty department. However the Republicans have once again taken the cake for least amount of truth in anything.

If the Republicans were really for change, why do they refuse to prove it through their actions? It is always more and more of the same old thing.

When you have nothing of value to offer, you use the tried and true methods of "Fear and Smear". It worked in 2000 and again in 2004, why not this time? Republicans never change, they always fall back on what they know.

I do not see Obama''s views as "negative, but realistic.

This country has lost face in the world, 760,000 lost jobs in only the first nine months of this year. Our debts continue to rise by billions, China being one of our debtors. The cost and loss of lives in Iraq and the Middle-East continues. Our government is trillions of dollars in debt.

The average American is being put upon to pay the windfalls of those mortgage lenders and Wall Street execs who made millions upon millions from usury and avarice.

Negative? You bet your bippy.
And cynical too.

All Americans know that to stay in power so that their failed economic polices can finish destroying America, the Republitard sleaze machine with its lies, slime, sleaze, libel and slander will stoop lower than a snake''s belly in a rut, to keep power.
