From what I've seen (which may or may not be representative) both of them have run far more attack ads than defense ones. I suppose one probably has 10 attacks to the other's 9 (and one defense each), or similar proportions.
(And another funny thing - the positive impression of McCain I've gotten from one of Obama's attacks has a counterpart in one of McCain's defense ads giving me a negative impression of him...)
Things seem to be similar as far as the local elections go too - about 90% of the advertising is saying *something* they intend to be bad about the other guy.
I do agree with you that Palin seems to have gotten a lot more media coverage than is typical. I'm not sure that it isn't more all the others weren't getting enough though. Shouldn't the person who's first in line if something happens to the President matter too? But while I've been hearing plenty of stuff from McCain and Obama, and a bit here and there from Palin, Biden's pretty much a cipher to me.
Well, in any case we'll soon be quit of one set of them. Theoretically.
-Morgan. However, for future campaigns, the use of the phrase "Not the change we need" is prohibited from now until the end of time. I don't care *who* it's being applied to.
