After watching the DNC, I was depressed. It was overwhelmingly negative. I realize that conventional wisdom is that the challenger has to go on the attack, but it was just draining.
After watching the RNC speeches tonight, I feel refreshed and proud to be an American. Despite a couple of attacks on Kerry, It was overwhelmingly positive.
This is good news, because negative campaigns don’t win. This is one of the reasons that Carter lost to Reagan. Watching Reagan talk about “Morning in America” was so much better then watching Carter.
Its ironic that the Kerry campaign keeps saying that Bush is negative, from reading both of their blogs, its Kerry who’s the most negative.
Ahhnold’s poke at economic girlie men was right on target too. Economic projections tend to be self fulfilling prophecies, and having Kerry constantly playing up everything bad in the economy helped prolong the recession.
If Kerry wants to have a snowballs chance, he needs to start talking positively about himself, not trash talking America.
