Risky business

By: Jessica Hartgers

The McCain campaign is in attack mode and taking out all aggression on Obama and the democrats.

Opinions of McCain have started to drop as the republican presidential nominee has taken a negative tone and is throwing personal attacks in the direction of Obama. As a result, Obama looks to have a clear lead in the recent polls, whereas before the margin was smaller.

With three weeks to the upcoming election the topic is on every one's minds. Why would McCain use such tactics this close to election day? The McCain campaign is at an all time low and it is critical that they recover from this drop.

McCain's intentions were to use the personal attacks to decrease Obama's rankings, however they were viewed to the public as "low blows" and resulted the opposite for McCain. Majority of voters think that McCain has spent too much time attacking Obama in a time that he needs to be explaining his plan of action for presidency.
