Listening to BBC overnight and C-SPAN this morning, I was reminded of another frequently asked question that I forgot…

Q. What about the negative campaigning? Call it “comparative” if you like, but we know mud-slinging when we see it. Maybe it’s effective at a national level, and the story I half-heard on BBC overnight (I was trying to fall asleep, but I’m coming down with a bit of a cold) implied that negative ads can be effective. But talk to people here in New Hampshire and it’s a whole nuther story. Even the subtle way Clinton has been trying to tear down Obama reflects so badly on her, not at all on him. And Romney’s attacks on McCain? Disgraceful! We know better than to think that the immigration plan had anything to do with amnesty. Garbage like that, on top of his own hypocrisy and flip-flopping, it’s no wonder people say that Romney is the devil. But what do I know? I just live here. :)
