86. Negative attacks do not mean smear.
Edited on Tue Aug-31-04 12:07 PM by NightOwwl
The problem (as I see it), is the responses from the campaign aren't tied up into nice little sound bites that the media loves. For example:

Bush's war is a catastrophic failure.

The RNC is shamelessly exploiting 9/11 for political gain.

Rudy Guliano went over the line in his speech last night.

Delegates wearing purple heart bandaids are an insult to all veterans.

This is what I mean by negative attacks. Dean and Clark know how to do this very well and I wish we could see more of them.
