I recently heard a news blurb where Obama told donors that he was not going to have anything to do with them if they also donated to attack style 527's, and wanted to run a non-negative respectful campaign (I heard this while driving, please correct me if I'm not properly understanding something here), while McCain was more wishy-washy on the subject, saying that he wasn't ruling out negative ads preemptively.
If the big race ends up being McCain and Obama, do you think there will be a great deal of negative ads? Which side do you think will release the hounds (of attack ads) first and which side the most?
