Unfortunately, negative campaigns work in American politics. George Bush used it against Al Gore and John Kerry; he was elected twice.Now, John McCain is proving that he is continuing the same dirty politics. His message is still unclear about the economy, foreign policy, etc. John McCain and George Bush are like fingers on the same hand. It’s not necessary for Senator Obama to respond to every negative ad. Rather, he needs to continue his consultations in domains such as the economy, foreign affairs, war in Iraq, and Afganistan. As the Fulani of Guinea say, “The croak of frogs doesn’t prevent the elephant from drinking in the river.”
