I love attack ads. About the only time you find out anything about the downside of opposing parties and rival candidates is through these attacks ads.
A favourite web site is the Attack Ads Hall of Fame where John Geer rightly argues that when candidates attack each other, raising doubts about their respective views and qualifications, we voters benefit. Positive ads are fluff.
Geer collected clips of the best, worse and boomerang attack ads in the post-war presidential elections from his Hall of Fame at his book site In Defense of Negativity Attack Ads in Presidential Campaigns
Both web sites are a must view for political junkies. Most of the Attack Ads are based on the truth and they are highly creative and focussed messaging.
