Clearly with the economy in a bad situation, this would be a trump card. One can almost guarantee a few 529s will try to bring up Rev Wright again (which has nothing to do with the issues), so it seems like Obamas camp would have it in their interest to hit first.

Without McCain it would have been the Keating Four.

Love your "unbiased" poll BTW....looks like one of the repubs!

Ya, Obama's camp should be bringing up the Keating Five every chance they get

Negative ads work and BOTH candidates would be fools in such tight race not to run negative ads.

They discuss the issues stay on topic while running negative ads .

Mccain needs to run some Rev Wright ads and point out Obama went to him for decades week before voting day. It works.

Geeze Louize, get your facts straight, McCain AND John Glenn were cleared with the Senate Ethics committee abmonishing them for 'poor judgement'. That said to me, 'Well we know you were involved but you were smart enough not to leave proof but stupid enought to leave signs of your involvement.'

Your right but the ad will still work. Ofcourse no need to say he was cleared lol but a well worded negative ad is great stuff .

Mccain to has also been foolish in not using them as he should .
Maybe both camps waiting week or two pre election as that is when it shoild be most effective.

And while you're at it, run ads about Palin's ethic violation, ONGOING investigation, her vendettas against her brother in law (who reads to me like a Joe Six Pack) and everyone else who crosses her, the almost $2M debt she left Pre-Palin debt-free Wasilla in , the Alaska oil pipe line deal that is going to benefit the Canadian job market rather then the American job market, her use of the States Attorney as her personal attorney to defend her in the ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO HER USING HER POWER AS GOVERNOR TO GET BACK AT SOMEONE FOR NOT FIRING HER EX- BROTHER IN LAW WHO DID HER SISTER WRONG!!!
