Ok, there’s ‘negative’ ….and then there’s NEGATIVE. Truly, is an attack on McCain’s health care plan equivalent to character assassination?
God love the U-Wisc. Advertising Project, but it does demonstrate the degree to which I’ve always believed “social science” to be an oxymoron. Despite its best intentions, it usually does a great disservice by trying to quantify the qualitative.
