Barack Obama has aired substantially more negative TV ads than John McCain following the political conventions, a study released yesterday found.
The University of Wisconsin analysis showed that 77 percent of Obama's ads that ran from Sept. 6-13 were negative - nearly all of the critical spots portraying McCain as a clone of President Bush.
By comparison, 56 percent of McCain's ads were considered negative for attacking Obama.
The most frequently aired Obama ad is called "Same" - a 30-second spot that shows five different shots of McCain with Bush. McCain's most frequently shown ad is "Original Mavericks," portraying the GOP candidate and running mate Sarah Palin as the real reformers. It does not attack Obama.

Who has the most negative ads? BAM!
Barack Obama really did try to pass extremist Sex Education legislation in Illinois. It was a “Trojan Horse” bill with language hiding under the banner of “avoiding predators,” designed to allow provocative curriculum which would have sexualized children ages 5 through 8.
This columnist was involved in fighting it and writes about it:
So much for the promise of this new style, positive thinking, visionary candidate who was going to change the old way of politics. What a joke.
Considering how very Liberal the UA is, this is big news.

UA s/b UW!! I need to wake up.
Gotta love the NY Post, but they seem to have forgot to mention that this study was mostly for the state of Wisconsin, not nationwide. I suspect that Obama is doing more negative ads nationwide (his entire platform seems to be “MCCAIN=BUSH!!! MCCAIN=BUSH!!! MCCAIN=BUSH!!!”) but for the moment, I wouldn’t go quoting these numbers to any liberal friend who is paying attention.
