The thing about all the bitching about the attack ads is that they work, albeit only to a point. The Liberals were able to hold the Conservatives to a couple minorities using the "he's scary" attacks. It kind of bombed the third time around though, especially given the American Tourist line of ads was ultimately more persuasive. Given this has been SOP for both parties for a long time now, the melodramatic reaction from some has been rather hilarious.
