The conventional wisdom around PP and most places is that people do not like negative campaigns.
I am betting that is not true. What people hate is when the other side engages in negative campaigning. When my side does it, it is simply truth-telling.
I am betting that politics will win out over any aversion to theoretical negative campaigning in the up-coming Presidential race. The early prognostications are that Obama will go hard negative, early and often. My bet is that Obama supporters will not be deterred in the least.
So, before the real campaigning begins, and this is all theoretical, I am asking what you all think.
Is the so-called aversion to negative campaigning real, or simply politics as usual?
