Cambaign update for the week of 10-25-10

A few lectures ago, our class was talking about mudslinging and negative campaign ads and whether theyare actually effective on the public. This update will focus on both the Carnahan and Blunt campaign ads and if thier ads fall into this category.

The most of  Rebuplican Roy Blunt ads are negative. He rarely critizes Carnahan's platform by only focusing on her ties to Obama. I have noticed he constantly ususes a sound byte of Obama endorsing Carnahan. Blount uses that specific sound clip in almost every commerical to attack Carnahan as a rubber stamper of  Obama's platform, which he sees as bad for Missouri.

The Democrat Robin Carnahan, attacks Blunt's honesty about his corporate ties to PerfectWave, a california contractor. Her most recent ads are positive and have endorsements from Republican citzens.
