I only heard clips on my way into work today on NPR, what I heard was far from pretty. It was loud, angry and the kind of tone that (I think) turns people away.
Miller has proven himself to be a nut and I think the high negativity is turning people off.
For me it happened when I saw the purple heart band-aids. I think for many swing voters the constant attacks on Kerry by prime time speakers is going to make them ignore it as well. I know this is my biased view, but its becoming pretty clear that Negative attitudes is a liability to candidates.
Republicans need to get positive and start saying what they WILL do. Not bashing who they are against. Ted Kennedy's speech brought down the whole Dem convention for me. It shouldn't have been there.
This election is turning into one where everyone is going to be voting AGAINST someone.
It's obvious that Kerry set himself up as the Not-Bush. And many people will be voting for him for that fact.
It's not Bush v. Anybody but Bush anymore. It's Anybody but Kerry v. Anybody but Bush.
That's how negative everything has become.
