It's just that they need to be - as Obama's appears to be - truthful and generally pertinent to the suitability of the candidate for the office. Obama gets credit, also, for keeping the general tone far from negative. I'd have gone for McCain's jugular by now, but he seems to have made the right bet by staying away from that. I guess that's just one of the many reasons that he's prepping for another campaign event tomorrow, and I'm typing this comment :) I don’t think there’s anything wrong with negative campaigns.
