It seems that no one likes negative campaiging but it does serve a important purpose. Negative campaiging gets media attention and stirs interest among constituents. Media attention is free (no money gone from war chest) and a lot of times any interest is good interest. It may not be the favored way (or even palatable) but it has become a necesarry cog in the political machine.
