[Dems2008] Re: Hillary negative ad: have to say this is lame

Agree- i saw the add earlier today online. i must say it seemed like it was straight out of a
high school campaign for student council. The music was even a little bit eerie. I think
people are more and more turned off by the negative ads.

If they work for Hillary, i would imagine the obama camp has some pretty good dirt on
her. I know Obama is running a positive campaign, but I think he will push back and hard,
if the negative ads work for her. Doubtful they will work.

My friends in Wisconson just laughed when they saw it and they haven't made up there
minds yet. Sounds like they are leaning more and more to Obama.

hasn't. Maybe he'd prefer to give speeches than have to answer questions."

the only economic plan that freezes foreclosures," the announcer continues. "Wisconsin
deserves to hear both candidates debate the issues that matter. And that's…not
debatable."

debate the New York senator more than twice between Super Tuesday and the crucial
March 4 primaries in Ohio and Texas. Clinton, who has been widely praised for her debate
performances this campaign season, had proposed one debate a week after Super
Tuesday.

Wisconsin next Tuesday, despite the fact it is devoting much of its resources to the Ohio
and Texas primaries a week later.

18 times, were gonna debate two more, but we've got other business to do here in terms
of meeting voters face to face."
