From Bush "Unprecedented Negativity" -- washingtonpost.com
The article cited in the headline above (and here) comes from the Washington Post which, though sometimes accused of being part of the so-called liberal media, is generally a damn fine and respected paper. Here's one of my favorite quotes:
"Three-quarters of the ads aired by Bush's campaign have been attacks on Kerry. Bush so far has aired 49,050 negative ads in the top 100 markets, or 75 percent of his advertising. Kerry has run 13,336 negative ads -- or 27 percent of his total. The figures were compiled by The Washington Post using data from the Campaign Media Analysis Group of the top 100 U.S. markets. Both campaigns said the figures are accurate." [emphasis added]
The article is also critical of Kerry's misstatements about W but notes that the Bushies are not only far, far more negative but also far more WRONG or misleading. Well, I for one am shocked, shocked to discover such shennanigans coming from the Grand Old Party.

maybe there is nothing good to say about the guy.
Well, I certainly would not expect W's campaign to say anything good about their opponent. That's not the point. The point is that they have so little good stuff to say about Bush II and his administration. While it may seem that much of Kerry's support comes from the "anybody but Bush" camp, it is the Bushies who are painting their opponent as someone to vote against rather than positioning their guy as someone to vote for.
