1. Springfield, Missouri newspaper
Edited on Fri Sep-17-04 02:41 PM by krkaufman
Perhaps it would make more sense to direct the paper's editors to the earlier study showing Bush's campaign to have been far more negative.

edit: Here's an interesting article from 'USA Today':

Be sure to review the graphic 'campaign ad analysis', too: http://www.usatoday.com/news/graphics/politics_elections/ads_so_far/flash.htm

2. Man, I'm so sick of folks thinking the way they do.
Seriously, I'm about to just give up and move back to Europe where I belong.

8. Kind of, mostly I'm sick of Republican mindset.
Maybe I'm biased, but it's fairly clear that Bush/Cheney have been more negative than Kerry/Edwards. The poor majority of Missourans disagree. That really bothers me.

3. hahahahahhaaaaaaaaa my vote was number 666!
this is an IDIOTIC poll, because it's not a matter of opinion

it's EASILY measurable, at least in dollar amounts, which means the actual number of ads can also be easily determined

the last numbers I saw on this were that seventy five percent of Bush ads were negative....think that's changed any toward the positive?

Kerry's, at that point, were slightly above 25 percent negative. I'm sure his have become more neg since then, but anybody with half a brain (twice Bush's) knows that Bush has nothing other than negatives upon which to campaign, blah blah blah....you get the idea

pointless, stupid poll
they have an article on front page at the site, talking about the campaign and negative junk, too. bet it's slanted toward the pugs

it's Missouri, after all

5. Who cares? Negative ads work!
And negative, sarcastic soundbites are the ones that make it to the evening news.
