here is the man who did the willie horton going to work for romney. is there any evidence that this stuff works any more. >> i think it works in republican parties. if it's going to work anywhere, that's where it works. nationally, or in a general election it works less and less. that's why we we're seeing less overt appeal to racism and bigotry and even the gay stuff it's amazing how quickly culture has moved from an area where it's okay to demonize gay people and now it's not. now it's seen as a political liability. now we see an situation where african-americans are off the table. immigrants yes you can bash on them. but a cautionary tale. this was a big issue in the nevada senate race. harry reid was one of the few democrats to escape. did he so because the latino turnout was through the root in 2010. in the caucus on saturday only 5% of rep caucus scores from latino. they're losing it as a country as the country gets browner and the appeals are bad politics which is why you have karl rove, and murphy, a strategist, shaking their head in horror. t

bullet that ran the election, the daisy ad, fantastic, did not win the 1964 election, the willie horton ad, powerful, did not lose the 1988 election for mike dukakis. in 2000 and 2004. it was that one ashley ad that beat john kerry. i think if you talk to the people who run campaigns, they're working at the margin now. i mean you win a presidential election by 537 votes in florida and the margin matters in american politics. but i don't think it-- air that and put a bunch of money behind it and it automatically wins you the election. >> no one sees any evidence that this is trickling down below federations. i was just watching what was trickling down to the local news elections. you begin to see negative ads appearing in places like austin. . . . is anyone study iing -- so we definitely notice in tracking the lower level ones that there was a lot of negativity. this is a -- i'm a too old professor. but this is a terrific project for a graduate student or someone to write a dissertation on. >> it's an inefficient use of money to have to buy an ad that reaching a whole station area. if yo

s secretly and have a mountain of willie horton style ads. host: go ahead. uest: to the question, i have n not read the article but i will check it out. but the point you are making in the question, that plays back to the fact that campaigns and political operations have been using negative advertising for many, many decades, many years going back. recently on television of course. what is different this time is many of those ads previously were coming from the campaigns themselves. so, when an advertisement that was very negative was going up on the air it was the campaign that was typically the one that was funding it or behind it. not always the case but definitely the case many teams. that is still happening today but it has been largely the super p.a.c.'s using the bulk of their money to promote very negative advertising. this is particularly true for the restore our future super p.a.c. the romney super p.a.c. and the landscape of campaign finance is changing. there is sort of the bad cops of the election. not all super p.a.c.'s are doing negative adver

and of course, with someone who did, as you pointed out, the willie horton ad in 1988 rn, hed a few in this cycle. >> themes he is hammering on, baggage for newt gingrich and santorum and gingrich are washington insiders and not fix the problems like an outsider can. when you look at these, you think nothing ever changes in american politics, it's unbelievable how the arguments are exactly the same. but in a way, i think when i looked at the ads of the daisy ad in particular in some of those early ones, they were so much more inventive. one of the things about mccarthy's ad, there's -- they are i think relatively predict able kinds of stories, it's just basically a bar brawl, it's you know, one big whack to the jaw. and not subtle. >> in your article, you -- i was interested because mccarthy is just kind of a normal guy, tell us more about him. >> yeah, i mean, i was expecting, you never know what you'll find when you start a profile. i expected great evil and a hater and someone who liked anger. and i would call people up and they would say he is a great guy, he is so funny and dlie--

and, of course, with someone who did, as was pointed out, willie horton ad in 1988. he's had a few in this cycle, one particular, maybe speak you showed one. i mean, the themes he has been hammering on his baggage for newt gingrich and both gingrich and santorum are washington insiders who can't fix the problem so of an outsider like romney can. when you look at the continuum come to think nothing ever changes in american politics. the arguments are exactly the same. but in a way i think when i looked at those ads of the daisy ad in particular, the early ones, they were so much more inventive than. one of the things that mccarthy's ad does, as far as a negative ad maker, relatively predictable narrative basically. the imagery is not that exciting. it's just basically a wall. one big slap to the job. >> in your article you also, i was very interested, kind of just a normal guy. he doesn't seem to have, tell us all the more about him. >> i was expecting him you never know what you'll find when you started your profile of someone, and i was expecting kind of dr. evil, a
