Hillary Decides to Go Negative

By Pamela Gentry, Senior Political Producer 

Posted Feb. 19, 2008 – Time has come for Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to decide if he will remain the change agent in politics or fight back and go “negative.”  His opponent for the nomination Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) has decided, and she’s going negative. 

The old school politics Obama professes to dislike and, are the “old” politics Clinton has adopted in hopes of netting a win in Wisconsin.  Clinton has released a negative television ad, accused Obama of plagiarism and  mailed a slew of not so flattering campaign material to Wisconsin voters.

Would a negative television ad or mailer by one candidate dissing another impact your vote?
