RP Asks: Will Going Negative Hurt McCain?
By RP Staff | July 31, 2008
The New York Times published a scathing editorial criticizing John McCain for letting Karl Rove’s operatives into his campaign, and in so doing adopting a more negative tone in his contest against Barack Obama. In recent weeks McCain has falsely accused Obama of turning his back on soldiers and being an opponent of energy, and absurdly declared that his opponent wants to lose the war in Iraq.
However, given Rove’s track record in delivering victories for Bush, we must ask, will going negative really hurt McCain?
