Why negative ad's will never go away

How is it even news that there is a anti-Obama super pac that wants to use Rev. Wright "like McCain should have"? These pac's will go away when there are no more disagreements on policy, no more rich people and when there are no more politics. These types of groups will also keep forming because to a certain extent they work. Everyone knows the commercials; Willie Horton, Swift Vets and my favorite one from 2008 "3 A.M.". These ad's are only as good as the candidate though. They are intended to cast a shadow and muddy the waters. I don't think there is a problem with this group making attack ad's, I think the problem is that everyone already knows about Rev. Wright and they do seem to care. This may be due to the religious aspect of the argument. If Rev. Wright is fair game, what about the things that radical Mormons have said? In closing, "Wright" idea, wrong topic.

Gay marriage and defining a campaign

Are there many people surprised that president Obama's opinion has evolved on the gay marriage issue? Just when recent polls show an almost split nation on the issue, Obama picks his side. The real question is why? He is in good shape for re-election and this issue will surely rally the far right. Obama believes that he will be on the right side of history on this issue. I would have to agree with that. But, the real reason for this move is to define his stance before Mitt Romney does. In each election opponents comes up with terms or labels that end up being used to trounce candidates. This usually happens when a candidate does not clearly state his stance or stays on the fence over an issue. The real surprise here is that this move was done by a democrat. The GOP is usually better at defining campaigns and people. The work they did on Al Gore and John Kerry had liberals even believing the spin. This move by Obama should set off an alarm in the Romney camp. He needs to stand for something fast. My guess is it will be the keystone pipeline or some sort of jobs deal. Who knows, maybe Newt Gingrich will show up at the next Romney rally and endorse Romney's moon colony plan.
