Is It Wrong To "Go Negative"?

By Andrew Walsh on Tuesday, October 7, 2008.

Tomorrow on Word Of Mouth, the gloves come off. As the presidential campaigns get down and dirty, we look back at the man who mastered modern hardball tactics: Lee Atwater. We talk with the director of the new film Boogieman, which looks back on the life and work of Atwater.

You Tell Us: Is “going negative” a necessary evil in today’s elections? if not, how would you stop it? We'd like to include your comments in tomorrow's show, so call our listener line at 603-223-2448, or leave your comments below. Thanks!
