I am assuming you mean the Dion adds?

The first add is direct barage back and forth between Dion and Ignatieff.

I think it has alot more weight than people give it credit for. Its one thing to have a bruding American style add like the drum add which talk about gloom and doom, its another to take a mans words (partially in context) and use it against him.

Everyone thinks that Canada is above negative advertising, the truth is they arent and they are the only adds that have been shown to have a real affect on swaying votes.
