I'm starting to think this election is a referendum on negative campaigning
For once, the people that ran the most negative campaigns are losing . . . I wonder if this will tone down the nastiness in the future.

Nah.

2. I agree...
Willie Horton's dead (figuratively), so is Lee Atwater (both figuratively and literally).;)

3. The same thought occurred to me a while ago.
People are very simply, sick of being lied to.

4. I've been pleased to see that the most scurrilous attacks have backfired
Maybe America is finally hip to these scumbags.

7. I think they pushed too far this time, to the point of.....
unbelievability. Really, no same person would believe the Dems dumb enough to nominate a Muslim/non-legal American/friend of terrorists/Socialist for President.

The negative ads got to the point where anyone with a brain stop believing any of it.
