all over our country to help elect the bigoted, right wing candidates. If they work, why give them up?

3. Actually, they're not working all that well--Brown's up 10 points in thepolls
Admittedly he may have better negative ads than she does.

I don't live in California so I haven't been subject to the full onslaught of her $140 million. I imagine after a while people just tune it out.

Brown of course could afford at this point to be gracious and play to the crowd like any good politician would. Meg lost a chance there to show a whole 'nother side of her personality--if of course she has a side of her personality that's flexible, charming and positive.

2. Virtually every candidate on both sides is using them.
Why would she agree to that?

7. There are negative ads and then there are negative ads. And not everybody is using them. I don't thi
nk using footage of Meg saying the crap she says is negative. Misciting Jerry's record in black and white with monster movie background music IS negative.

Oh wait, you were referencing Mag. I was referring to Matt.

6. Arnie was sitting closer to Jerry than Meg. Negative is all Meg has.
