24. Yes, because they are defining positive as "pro candidate" and negative as "anti opponent"

In addition to Obama ads talking about why Obama is right on the issues, there are Obama ads that talk about why McCain is wrong on the issues. There is nothing wrong with such ads, but they are, by some definitions, negative.

If one defines "negative ads" as false or personal attacks, I'm not sure that Obama would have any. Possibly, the "out of touch" ads are personal, although they are not false.
