- Negativity Sells (Dec 31, 2007)

Saw a common theme from two extremes recently. Coast to Coast AM and the Romney Presidential campaign.

Coast to Coast aired a segment asking radio callers to make their "physic predictions" for 2008. During the program it was noted that most predictions were of the negative nature. It amused me that the host, and others, could not come up with the reason for negativity other than, "it sells." The Romney campaign has went negative in the waning days before the Iowa caucuses, which is likely because they feel the same, it sells. I'm sure the Huckabee camp will respond in due time.

Well, the answer is the heart of mankind: We have a nature that is desperately wicked from birth, and negativity plays to this weakness. This is a truth you will rarely hear. With the Iowa outcome (Democrat and Republican) too close to call; I am excited to see how it all plays out.
A positive outcome, you think?

consider Christ
