Negative ads: They really do work (article by Mark Penn)

[DuaneBidoux]

The science is definitive: negative ads work, and while I too want a real dialogue dems will let themselves get the shit beat out of them at their own peril. Fortunately, I don't think it will happen this time.

3. heh. What was it that Rachel Maddow said about him again?

something like "he looks like he's been detoxing from heroin in a room with no air conditioner, while eating buttered popcorn"? Was that it?

4. My guess...when he goes into the voting booth he votes Republican!

He's got the Rove tactics down cold!

Ummm, Mark, last I checked your negative campaign against Barack DIDN'T WORK!

Why are people still buying his over-priced, completely useless advice?

6. Sorry, but it does work. It really does.

At least...it works to bring me in a paycheck. I love bashing republican scumbags, and have no qualms about it.

8. Oh yeah? It does work.

You big shit, Penn. It took 2 of the Dems that I most admired and made me not like them so much.

Maybe if you'd hadn't insulted half of the Dem party, there wouldn't be the divisions there are now.

And isn't it interesting that the article reinforces the idea that Hillary's mistake was not listening him. What a coincidence from our friend Mark Penn?
