I think that the backlash for using too much negative campaigning will be that less and less ppl will vote, because they'll just refuse to listen to negative hate speech. In that case, the only voting public will be the crazies that DO stay behind and put up with the hate ranting.

I'm curious how Y!A users define themselves, politically speaking, if you add a libertarian/authoritarian dimension to one's position in the political spectrum.
You can post a link to the image of the chart by right-clicking on it, choosing "Open Image In New...
Jim Emery's series is complete, and you should look through it. I find it interesting that he speaks about the "Macaca moment" and all that entails, given the current situation in the Minnesota Governor's race.
Jim's posts describe what it was like to be in the communications division of a...

Over the summer I have to pick a political story in the newspaper to follow for my politics class. I was wondering what you guys thought, as I am stuck. It has to be British politics, and I thought that I would maybe do something on immigration as that seems to be developing a lot and I find it...
I like "Click & Clack" for entertaining car repair answers, "Marketplace Money" for very good easy to understand information on investing for regular people like us and "Spendid Table" for food fun. What radio talk shows provide info and not political ranting?
