I’ve been reading a lot of articles talking about how both candidates are going negative with their campaign ads. I think both are making a major mistake in doing so. I am particularly disappointed to see Senator Obama sinking to McCain’s level and focusing on trying to tear McCain’s character down, rather than speaking about the positive plans he has for this country. I’ve already read all about McCain’s involvement in the Keating affair. I know that according to what I’ve read McCain was less involved than the other four Senators were, but did describe that incident as the worst mistake of his life. I also know from reading several articles than Obama has no real connections to Bill Avery, and has denounced Avery’s radical past.

I wish both candidates would STFU about those incidents and stop the character assassination attempts. Hell, We The People have already seen all we want to about the incidents being brought up. We The People really don’t want to hear anymore more crap about what’s wrong with the other guy. What we are hungry for is information that tells us which candidate is truly right for the job of President. Obama has been doing a great job of convincing me he is the right man for that job. He has done that by staying focused on the issues that concern me, making it clear he understands those issues, and is just as concerned about them. He needs to continue doing that, and NOT go negative at this point.

I realize that each candidate is trying to appeal to voters who have not made up their minds yet as to who they feel is the right man for the job. But, Obama needs to understand that going too negative in his ad campaign, and at tomorrow’s debate could wind up backfiring on him. Obama needs to appeal to the undecided sector out there not with negativity, put rather with positive words that make it plain he has the best plan for this country.

The reason I have become such a firm supporter of Senator Obama is because I have been greatly impressed with the plans he has for this country, as well as his gracious nature and gentlemanly ways. If I could speak with him right now I would have this to say, “Please, Senator Obama, don’t let me down and sink to the same level as McCain and Palin have. Kindly keep in mind that a lot of us supporting you think you are good man who has the potential to become a great President. Don’t lose sight of that fact, or faith in yourself. Remain the gracious gentleman you are, and speak to us about the positive plans you have for this country. Our hearts are hungry for a positive change, make sure you feed that hunger. Do not allow yourself to be devoured by the beast of negativity that has become the driving force of McCain’s campaign.”
