Sure, they don't need to PAY for attack ads, the MSM is running them 24/7 for free, attacking President Bush and the Republicans.

They always try to do that when they're on the receiving end; but never when they're on the transmitting end. Then they say "Hey! Politics is a Rough-n-Tumble affair. If you can't take it you shouldn't be in Politics."

Cameron Kerry - didn't he get caught breaking into the headquarters of his brother's opponents? Isn't that dirtier that attack ads?

Who defines "negative"? Who distinguished between "negative" and "disagreement"?

How can you debate a lefty when you can't speak the truth about them without it being labelled a personal attack?
Opponent: "Candidate X voted to raise taxes 28 times."
X: "That's a scurrilous personal attack."
Opponent: "X is quoted right here as saying he thinks the military is wrong and should be disbanded."
X: "Another right-wing attack dog charge. Americans are tired of negative campaigning"...

Substitute "effective" for "attack" and I think we'll all see what ads the independant review comission will come up with as being "bad".
Why are they worried? Has a Republican that might win entered the Mass goobernatorial race? I thought it was all Democrats running, once Romney backed out.

How does the rats building a committee around their press releases rate as news? The drive-by-media doesn't even try to hide their role as DNC propaganda mouthpieces anymore.

The state Democratic Party has created a four-member panel... that will review... and publicly rebuke candidates who use negative attacks. ...and... what? As opposed to positive attacks?
Whoo-boy, watch out, nobody wants to be publically rebuked by Mike Dukakis.
...and what's the deal with all the 'Fn' Kerrys? John F.... Cameron F.....

As I remember, during the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries Dukakis leaked to the press some video tapes that proved his opponent Joe Biden was a plagarist. Shortly afterward Biden suffered a brain aneurysm and almost died. Cameron Kerry was arrested after breaking into one of his idiot brother's opponent's campaign office with the intent of wiretapping the phones. Having these two characters as moral watchdogs is like having Libya chair the UN Human Rights Commission.

From
Wikipedia:
Cameron Kerry (born September 6, 1950) is the younger brother and political confidant of John F. Kerry. The day before the primary election in which John Kerry was seeking his district's nomination in his race for the U.S. House of Representatives, Cameron Kerry was caught in the basement of the same building that his brother's opponent kept his campaign headquarters in. John Kerry's headquarters was also in the building. Cameron was charged with breaking and entering. One month later, the charges were dropped after the Kerry campaign explained that Cameron was in the building because he was in his brother's campaign headquarters to investigate rumors that his brother's campaign telephone lines were being wiretapped.
Yeah, he's just another Democrat "culture of corruption" scumbag.

and publicly rebuke candidates who use negative attacks. Ahhhh... so the penalty for a 'pub using an "attack ad" is for the 'rats to "rebuke" with an ad attack in return. Sounds like same-old lame-old to me. Actually, its worse: the intention is to put the 'pubs on notice - don't try anything, while the 'rats get to define 'attack' in such a way as to give them free reign to "rebuke" the pubs.
