Is Obama going to unleash hard hitting negative ads in the coming weeks?

1. I'd prefer hard hitting truthful ads about mccains negativity

and corsi deserves a damned good public ass kicking but that wouldn't be negative, whippping his ass would be a positive thing.

2. personally if I don't see more "meat" in these ads soon, I'm going to explode

3. I HOPE SO

However, I suspect he's simply holding his heavy ammo until when he thinks it will do him the most good, which is smart IMHO. If there is one thing that I've noticed is that his campaign seems to have been rather steady and deliberate so far in terms of their actions and responses. Also, not that many people are paying attention to the race in earnest so it's probably to his advantage to hold his fire for right now. Amazingly, he is still ahead of McCain in the polls despite all of the negative ads and smears.

4. They will only be "negative" because the truth hurts

I don't think we need to call them negative ads. John Sidney McCain III and his humble buddies have run disgusting smears. Those are negative ads.

Obama's hard hitting ads tell the truth in honest detail and that can seem negative because the reality of the destruction brought about by Republican rule is quite ugly. They've spent billions pretending to protect our national security and made us much less secure.

They will be hard-hitting on the economy too, because Republicans have failed again-- running up their typical huge deficits-- spending and taxing future generations. They pretend to be against tax increases and yet, they spend us into debt which will need to be paid somehow.

7. I hope so...he needs to do something that will

break through the media blockade on positive Obama coverage right now. I don't know if he will. I don't know if he's going to toughen up and hit back hard or keep cruising, hoping to mainly stay above the fray (and therefore lose).

8. He needs to attack McCain on National security and experience in national security.

9. he already has in some states, just not over-publicizing it. I like them because they are targeted

and specific and focus on ISSUES.
