Poll question: Are DUers growing weary of the negative campaigning?
Here it is nearly 3/4 through February and the mudslinging is in full force. And frankly I am weary of it. I want to know if the folks in GD-P are feeling the same way?

3. She's "tested".
And she's gonna prove it to you whether you like it or not.

2. I haven't seen any "negative campaign ads"--we were a SuperTuesday state.
I have seen a bunch of obstreperous posters here on both sides of the primary divide, though.

4. Not really.
Not having a dog in the fight helps a lot toward my apathetic attitude I guess.

6. I don't think this is anything yet, just petty tit for tat, the republicans are coalesecing...
Wait till the GE gets dragged out onto the tiles. Every cycle becomes nastier than before.

7. I see several ads per day for Obama and Hillary. None are negative.
The only place I'm being exposed to the negative campaign BS in on the internet. My former haven from the negative political climate I lived in has now been turned into a cesspit laden with hatred, lies and ungrounded anger.

On the flip side of that coin. The televised political ads have been very polite and informative. (Excluding local races. Those are just as vile and as big a turn off as ever.)

8. Yes. On either side. Don't care who "started" it.

10. You really think this is bad mudslinging?
This has been patty-cake.
