You'd think we would have learned by now.

I believe a lot of the negativity falls at the feet of McCain/Feingold "campaign finance reform". Some of the most negative ads aren't from the candidates themselves. The use of 527 orgs gives the candidates cover since a lot of the negative attacks aren't coming from the candidates directly.
I couldn't agree with you more. Those 527 groups should be outlawed. They are just cover for a candidate that either has no real platform, or knows that the platform they have is so far to the extreme, (Left or Right), that even their own party would disown them.

The big problem is that "W" has been so successful with the 527 groups, (just look at what they did to destroy McCain in 2000 and Kerry in 2004), that they are really the only way to gain office these days.

This fight between Musgave and Pichonie is enough to make me want to blow chunks. I wish there was some way that they'd both loose!

And now the mud slinging between Boprez and Ritter is getting just about as bad.

Don't know about the rest of you here, but for me, November 8th can't come soon enough.
