Candidates Aren't Going Negative, yet

LA Tiems outs that no candidates are throwing negative comments against each other yet. Some people believe that it's too early, considering how far we are from the elections in 2008. There have been arguments among the candidates but its lacking teh negative connotation it will have as the heat presses on within debates. A media analyst, Evan Tracey says that

"We've seen swiping ...the natural progression is to take that to the airwavesand
put it in an ad"

which shows how much candidates will do anything to win the elections legally (Barabak). We are waiting for the first person to step on that boat, because from that first blow comes many where the candidates will do anything to beat the other. Although there have been some lashes out with candidates Sen. Clinton (D) and former New York Giuliani (R) showing that there are some tensions building up through their opposing thoughts. Although Sen. Obama has been trying to rally against the

"Politics of negativity and division" (Barabak).

There haven't been true statements of negativity, only people rallying towards buildiing a stronger party to out beat the opposing party. "

On Wednesday, Romney begin airing a spot chastising fellow Republicans and
urging the GOP to put our own house in order"

rallying them together to beat the Democrats out of the elections of 2008 (Barabak). I personally think that mudslinging should not be a part of politics because it degrades the opponent, and that's not how a person should try to win. It only benefits the other. I may not be the best or even perefect person but I believe that candidates need to take in consideration how hard they hit and how hard the person will fall if given that negativity. The gloves will come out next year as the elections draw near. Candidates should took take in consideration of what is leaving their mouths because at times it may leave a mark on fellow canididates or opponents.
