Looking at the tv advertisements, Bush’s ads are negative attacks on Kerry and Kerry’s ads are positive biographical ads. It flies in the face of the commonly held idea (which still has merit, by the way) that Kerry is running as “Not Bush”.

The response to this is: hey, Moveon.org and other organizations like that have ads that are negative. But, frankly I don’t know if I’ve actually seen those ads during commercial breaks. Recall that the networks didn’t let them air the rather typical contest winner — focused on the deficit.

The latest Bush ad goes through the votes that Kerry didn’t cast a vote on due to campaigning. It’s a common ad theme against members of the Legislative Branch busy running for president. The list that the ad brings up is rather meaningless, except … well… I want to know one thing:

Did Kerry bother to vote on the Kitten Protection Act? It’s almost worse if he didn’t take the effort to vote on the Kitten Protection Act than if he had shown his hand that he hates kittens and voted no on it.
