As noble as it sounds, negative ads work, otherwise campaigns wouldn't use them. The timing is everything. They keep beating this drum week after week, in the end, people will have doubts about Obama and either not vote or vote for Mac.
Timing is everything. If the Jeremiah Wright stuff would've made national attention in January versus March, Hillary would be the nominee and she would be ahead by 20-25 points. Instead Obama had won enough primaries/caucases early on that losing 3/4 of the primaries/caucases at the end allowed him to narrowly win the nomination. The Wright controversy definitely hurt him down the stretch.
Get ready to see a string of more footage about Wright, Ayers, quotes from Farrakhan, Michelle's gaffes about America and any and other footage that points to the real Obama versus the public persona he has crafted for himself over the past 12 months.
American voters have short memories. Sometimes they need reminders.
I'm absolutely certain if they do what you're proposing, he'll lose by double digits. Talking about all of that old junk while the economy goes in the tank and we have the biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression will get McCain trounced.
He'd better steer his runaway train back to the issues Amercians care about right now and that doesnt' include Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright or Michelle Obama.

If I was a bettin man, I'd bet you're wrong, and I'd win a lot of money.
Mac can talk economy while the campaign stays focused on BO. There are a lot of unanswered questions about thus guy.

In an election cycle when both parties are running on a platform that they are tired of politics as usual, and in a time when the American people are responding to that message and expressing almost unprecedented distrust of politicians and the usual political games, I think that this is a dangerous gamble. In this climate I would not be betting that a strategy would work simply because they have been used in the past. Anything that feels like the same old political games and smear tactics will rub many people the wrong way. I don't think either party can afford to play both sides here. Both parties are running with the message that the old political games and tactics much change and I believe that most Americans agree.

Nail meet head. We have a winner.
It's either the Maverick road or the business as usual smearing. It can't be both.

Governor Palin did, but she's a token, a pawn and if she becomes the VP, she'll be a VP for show, with little or no role in the White House. She will not be a Cheney VP, not in the least bit!
Maybe not, remember we as Apostolics are leaving this in the hand of God. Maybe she is another Esther as some believes. I said from the beginning I felt that God has brought her on the scene for a reason. Just my thought.
