If You Don't Have Anything Nice To Say

This past weekend was busy in suburbia. School picnics, annual town festival day, monkeying around on the monkey bars, and, of course...POLITICS.

As I explained to my hubby who is currently traveling abroad, I am not the only one who is obsessed with this election. This weekend was no different except for one thing.

There was bi-partisan agreement that going negative won't work for McCain. At least not for the New Jersey voters I'm talking to. They simply won't have him drown out his absurd choice of Sarah Palin and his lack of an economic plan by turning up the vile (ness).

This poll just out today explains that McCain's net favor ability ratings have absolutely PLUMMETED in the last few weeks.

People are already sick to death about the economy, and still nauseous from Thursday night's debate...they just can't stomach any more.

It is too bad that McCain didn't realize that before. Sadly, aside from losing the race, there are a couple of mavericks out there who may find their reputations gone for good as well.

So, perhaps what your mother always told you is true: if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

Or, as the Good Book says:

Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. Proverbs 3:3
