First, Kerry has only been negative and immature at that. There is no need at this very juncture to go real negative yet - he embodies it. Second - he hasn't technically won the nomination yet - a shoe-in but best to wait until it is completely official. Third - if and when truly strong ads come from the Prez's camp, they should simply use Kerry's own words against him - and right now those soundbites are still a'commin'. There's a time and a place and once one reaches both at the ripest time then it's a go. Also don't forget Sadaams coming trial, a later convention, possible dropping of Cheney (not saying they should but still could), Sept 11 observances days later, etc. We've got alot of big liberal media, unions and educational institutions to counter before this is all said and done but I truly believe it is going to work out beautifully in the end.
