Negative, ghost rider, pattern is full

One thing that CNN's persuadables clearly don't like is when John McCain attacks Obama.  They're considerably more tolerant of Obama attacks McCain, in part, I suspect, because Obama doesn't keep repeating "what Senator McCain doesn't understand is . . . ", and in part because I suspect that some of them are closet Obamatons.

Nonetheless, this gives me hope. Negative opinons about negative campaigns?  Dare I hope that we may soon see a day when every other political ad concentrates on how the candidates opponent kills puppies, and also, invented scurvy?

Sorry, I must have been daydreaming.  Where were we?
