Summary of - "The Early Word"

Although attacks have proven to be a useful and effective way to campaign, it seems that McCain and Palin may have taken it overboard. According to Michael Falcone, (from the NYT), six out of ten voters believe McCain has focused more on attacking Obama then on explaining what he will do as president. The article also stated that according to a poll taken, 53% of probable voters would vote for Obama whereas only 39% said that they would vote McCain if the election was held today. It appears that people are tired of the attack approach and would rather hear about relevant issues, which Obama seems to be providing. In the past the fear tactic and the more conservative approach appeased the people, but times have changed.
We can’t completely attribute the current polls to the negative attacks made by McCain. Obama has way outspent McCain on advertisements; currently by almost $100 million. Many are done in with the style of campaigning that McCain has been using, but others realize its purpose and appreciate its importance.
