Why on earth would anyone want to go negative today?

[MrBenchley]

Especially after the GOP's negative campaigning has made them a laughing stock?

I can't imagine what kind of person saw the hatefest at Madison Square Garden and sincerely said to him- or herself, "Wow, I wish we had vicious unhinged pinheads like that on our side."

An incumbent president in the ruling party just had four days of television, and showed the nation they had nothing but hate and bitter rage to offer....and you think we ought to abandon real issues like jobs and health care and national security to show we can be as spiteful and ugly as them?

For shame.
