Attack Ads ...ONLY should be used against the Republicans
Why is it in each primary - the Republicans will settle quickly on getting behind ONE candidate and our candidates stay in and fight each other until we all get so tired of the negative campaigning we want to puke and THEN when we are down to ONE candidate ... WE BACK OFF and don't attack???

This really grates my nerves! I have watched it happen time and time again. Hillary and Obama need to lay off of each other and run on their own merits - Hillary could be using her experience and Obama using his fresh face. The voters could choose which they want which is what we will do anyhow regardless of ATTACK ADS!

I am tired of our party taking it easy on the Republicans and NOT coming out swinging against them! Save the attacks for McCain! And, please like get it together, decide which of you will back out gracefully so that we can get back to ATTACKING the Republican opponent!

Quit giving them fodder to use against us later! Take a lesson from them and like lead, follow or get out of the way!

YES, I am still undecided and the dirtier the campaigning gets the less likely I am to vote for the one who slings the most mud!

Furthermore, NOW I see why I heard comments last Presidential election that our party slung the most mud ...couldn't understand it then because they had PLENTY OF FODDER against BUSH but wasn't using it...it was all the mudslinging we do against our own candidates!

Please let me be proud of our party and please save the attacks for the opponent - that is when we need to throw punches...NOT NOW!

1. This year the rules have changed a bit over on the Red team.
This cycle, they've appeared to coalesce around a dead man.

3. Dem voters may tire of dirty campaigning
this is a long drawn out mess. It would have been better to have all the primaries at once and be done with it. This is stressing everyone out.
