Campaign stratagys that worked/failed?

[4dmin]

Worked:
Staying away from any specifics on any new initives. Obama did a very good job of showing the country his policies through rose colored glasses while sidestepping any possibe negatives.

Didnt Work:
Negative ads. People are becoming immune to negative attack ads because of their obvious half truths and flat out lies. I think a canidate that can get his message across and debunk any proposals by an opponet without making it an attack will draw ALOT of votes from people that are sick of politics as usual.

I honestly think Negative campaign ads are more effective if both candidates are the same color. I think you have to walk a fine line doing it in this type of campaign w/ such diverse crowd voting. I think the senate race here in GA is a prime example Martin/Chambliss ads were crazy
