Tell me about it. I guess the "teams" act that way to solidify their own bases. They can't honestly think their petulant negative banter attracts us independents, can they?
AstroRocket, I think that is exactly why Obama has not gone negative, he is trying to make it about the issues, and the Republicans are trying to smear him...there is a reason that McCain was discussed as the more negative candidate by a ratio of 6 to 1. Now cue the people talking about the Press and their negative campaign against Palin....but what those people are missing is that the press is around to vet what the candidates say...if Mrs. Palin would stop lying so much there would be a lot less negative articles about her.
