McCain/Palin's Ultra-Negative spree might be causing backlash
The rolling survey (In which McCain is losing and going downhill) was conducted in part after the McCain campaign launched attacks against Obama for his associations with a former pastor and a one-time leader of a radical group in the 1960s, but McCain, not Obama, is the one who has lost ground in the last two days since this new McCain campaign strategy was ratcheted up. This may be a reaction by likely voters to negative campaign tactics, which have not worked this year.

Pollster John Zogby noted early in this presidential race that because voter anger and disillusionment at Washington was so strong, negative campaign tactics would likely not work this time around, and could backfire.

How can we help this little backlash along?

1. Look, if McCain want's to reviist the past,, we can do that...
look at his and Palin's ongoing ties with G.Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate burglar and retired terrorist; his ties with Singlaub and the World Anti-Communist League that provided support for terrorist attacks in Nicaragua; and his support for the development of al-Qaida, when it was formed to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.

If we were Republicans, we would be running ads about his support for al-Qaida, but, of course, we are not.
