Can you find one independent survey that proves Bush is more guilty of
slinging mud than Kerry?



I'm not inclined to look for one. Only those blind to the obvious,
contrasting,
tone of the campaigns would need a survey to begin with.

There may be a perfectly valid reason for the difference. Have you ever
watched an experienced teacher interacting with a kid with special needs?
She'll make a V with her fingers and point to her eyes to make sure the kid
is truly focused on the teacher's face. It works. The next step is simple:
Anyone who either plans to vote for Bush or is undecided has a clear need to
be brought to a more focused state. More to the point, they need to be taken
by the lapels and shaken severely. That's the goal of Kerry's ads.
