Is it in our psyche, to want to believe negative things?

Question

is that why negative campaign ads work so well.if so why doesn't obama make use of them, for starters, he could make the perfect ad, using mc cains voice humming bomb,bomb,bomb, Iran.

Answer 1

To a lot of people I am sure that works.  As I got older I became more informed-getting my news sources from multiple outlets.  These attack ads do not work on me because I have already formed my opinion.  Unless something extreme comes up regarding my candidate, nothing else said between now and November is going to matter.  

Answer 2

Ha, ha, ha, Ha! You are more perturbed on the man to sit in the white house than about yourself at this age! yes, indeed the negative campaign is positive ONLY when the man concerned calm and continue his silence that would be taken as a sign of forgiveness to the  mud slinging opposition! McCain's bombing ad on Iran bombs himself only since people of tired of fight in foreign soil!
