The type of Ads turn me off on both of the candidates all I want to hear is about the issue nothing more, it is sad the are the two best people this country has to offer for President. this country is going down and neither one of them has said for sure what they will do to turn it around, they say we shouldn't bail out the bank or loan companies but have no good idea on what to do. I am looking for more in a President and can not seem to fine it,
I do not care what the color of the person that is to be President is, what matter if they can do the job and help the people and this country. Race has become to much apart of this election on both sides and I do not believe you vote for someone just because he is of your party or because he is black, you vote for the person who will do the best job and will not lie to you.
Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are criticizing each other in new television ads, trying to drive down public opinion of one another with the 22 days left in the election.
one example of the ads is http://pcl.stanford.edu/campaigns/2008/
where Mccain attack spot obama, he portrays Obama as a product of corrupt Chicago machine politics.

Obviously, the ad is an implicative which attacks Obama as a candidate. The ad uses innuendo to show Obama's association with terrorist organizations to attack his image as a candidate. These ads are really powerful in that they shock the audience like me. But i think the public has their judegement as to what to believe and what not to believe.
It is indeed sad that at this point in the election that slander and name-calling play such a prominent role. In all honesty, I think we as American's expect this petty game -- would a lack of these negative ads simply confuse us in choosing the "best" candidate for office? If both running mates appeared to be wholesome and "squeaky-clean," would we even care so much as to who was elected? It's tough to say...obviously we've never seen it happen, and I doubt we ever will.
Stating Obama has relations with terrorists shocked me also when I first heard it. The more I thought about it, the more I realized it is primarily a campaign strategy by McCain to slander Obama's reputation. America has a strong thirst for drama in our politics and that is exactly what the candidates have given us.
