1. Politics..... negativity

Well, First off I guess this is the hot topic right now, two weeks before the elections, Bush and Kerry are in a dead heat according to the polls, whatever that might mean, and the campaigns are heating up.

Now I know that each year the campaigns get more and more negative (is this real or imagined?) but last night I saw a commercial by the Republicans here in Florida that attacked Betty Castor (Dem candidate for Senate) for running a negative campaign.... at no point did they mention any positive things about their own candidate, so I was left thinking about how hypercritical it was to run a negative ad about someon eelse running a negative ad.
