U.S. presidential race turning increasingly negative
Washington, Oct.10 ANI: The presidential contest between Senators Barack Obama and John McCain is reported to be getting increasingly negative with just 25 days to go for the polls.According to Fox News, McCain and Obama seem to concentrating more on criticizing each other's past associations rather than on providing acceptable solutions to stop the American economy from collapsing. Fox News claims that the television advertisements issued by both the McCain and Obama camps are getting nastier with each passing day. The campaign insults are getting more personal and the crowds at their respective rallies are getting rowdier.The presidential candidates face a balancing act-engaging voters in a sincere economic discussion, while engaging each other in what amounts to trench warfare. But if the past week is anything to go by, trench warfare seems to be taking priority.McCain continues to target Obama's ties with 1960s radical William Ayers. The Ayers issue has triggered a cascade of recriminations from both campaigns, and has the potential for both candidates alienating undecided voters.The McCain campaign released a 90-second Web video Thursday examining the Ayers connection and saying the issue speaks about the Illinois senator's "judgment and candor."The Obama campaign is mostly relying on Joe Biden to return fire. Biden on Wednesday called McCain "an angry man, lurching from one position to another."The Obama campaign has taken to calling McCain "erratic," particularly for his economic proposals-a word some Republicans take as a slight against McCain's age, 72. And both Democratic running mates are using a little street talk to taunt McCain for going at them through ads, and not in person.Meanwhile, the McCain campaign is escalating its effort to cast Obama as an extreme liberal and suggest that he is somehow un-American.McCain campaign co-chairman Frank Keating, a former Oklahoma governor, said on Dennis Miler's radio show Thursday that Obama ought to admit that he was "a guy of the street" who "used cocaine" and "voted liberally."Republican strategist Andrea Tantaros said that McCain runs a big risk of distracting from his economic message. Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor released a statement Thursday saying McCain "would rather launch angry, personal attacks than talk about the economy." Jeremy Mayer, professor of public policy at George Mason University, said McCain's turning to Ayers because he thinks he has to go negative to win. And in doing so, he said McCain is basically mounting a late-game strategy to galvanize the base similar to what President Bush did in the last two elections. "Whatever McCain has been doing hasn't been working. There's a real hunger among the Republican base to really attack Barack Obama. ... Republicans won base elections in 2000 and 2004. A lot of people who are on McCain's campaign are veterans of those successes," Fox News quoted Mayers, as saying.He said he expects the final presidential debate next week to be very negative.Polls show McCain continuing to lose ground against Obama. The Gallup tracking poll showed Obama with an 11-point lead Thursday for the second day in a row. McCain, however, says that political pundits are not going to decide whether he is going to win or not. ANI

Pageantry, festive spirit marks Mysore Dussehra
NAT51National/Religion/Society/CulturePageantry, festive spirit marks Mysore DussehraMysore, Oct 9 IANS The grand finale of the 10-day Dussehra fest began on a spectacular note Thursday, with pageantry and festive spirit marking Vijayadashami in this cultural capital of Karnataka, some 140 km from India’s IT hub.Witnessed by thousands of people, from India and abroad, the colourful Dussehra procession led by the elephant Balarama took off from the illuminated Mysore palace of Wadiyars to Bannimantap grounds on the other side of the city.The mile-long victory procession, christened ‘jamboo savari’ consists of a dozen elephants, scores of camels, horses and bullock carts. 47 tableaux depicting the cultural and historical facets of Karnataka are the special attraction of the fest.Earlier, scion of the erstwhile Mysore maharajas - Srikantadatta Wadiyar - heralded the victory march by invoking the family deity.Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa also joined the celebrations.Besides family members and relatives of Wadiyars, district in-charge minister Shobha Karandlaje, several cabinet ministers, MPs, legislators, top officials and special invitees graced the occasion.The crowds were enthralled with music, folk dances and songs by cultural troupes and artistes from different parts of the state.About 4,500 police personnel were deployed in and around the city to ensure peaceful celebration of the fest.In his brief address on the occasion, Yeddyurappa said Dussehra was a joyous fest for the 60-million people of Karnataka, heralding peace, happiness and prosperity.Expressing gratitude to goddess Chamundeshwari for blessing the state with bountiful rains and good harvest, the chief minister thanked the people for maintaining peace and order during the 10-day celebrations.Metal detectors and closed-circuit television CCTV sets were installed at key entry and exit points to monitor the people and detect any untoward movement.Meanwhile, the Dussehra celebration committee expressed unhappiness as the number of visitors to the colourful fest dwindled this year compared to previous years."We were expecting over one million people, including thousands of domestic and foreign tourists for the 10-day celebrations. Instead, about 600,000 people visited. The recent terror attacks in Bangalore and other cities appear to have dampened the enthusiasm of the people in witnessing the grand Mysore Dussehra fest,” a committee member told IANS.The Mysore Dusshera fest dates back to 1610 AD when King Raja Wadiyar-I began celebrating the victory of goddess Chamundeshwari who slew demon Mahishasura on Vijayadashmi day.--Indo-Asian News Servicemb/fb/ak/vt424 Words09101855
