Kristof's Cure for Negative Campaigning


Boy, why didn't anybody else think of this?
The only hope for stopping the mudslinging is if well-meaning people try to police their own side.
Now that such a brilliant idea has been presented, certainly both sides will actively police against distortions of the record and muckraking in their own ads, and the ads of their supporters, and will actively condemn any misrepresentation. After all, it is better to lose an election than to win dishonorably.

Right?
