Summary of "The Early Word: The Cost of Going Negative"

Senator Obama and Senator McCain will have there final debate in Hofstra Unviersity in N.Y. According to recent polls, up to now Obama is winning. McCain is said to be using a lot of negative ads against Obama instead of focusing on the issues. A poll shows that more people think McCain is having a negative campaign than Obama. The same poll shows that Obama spents more of his time talking about the issues than attacking his opponent. Race is one of the issues that have been hiding in the campign. Both candidates don't talk about race much. However, voters seem to say that race plays an important role in the campaign. On economic issues, Obama wants to help the middle class people and businesses. In the other hand, McCain's strategy is mostly helping the higher class people. Anything can change with this final debate coming up.
