Prezidentskej kampani dominuje najmä očierňovanie. (Hospodárske noviny online)
Za nekorektný a nedôveryhodný označil dnes podpredseda Strany demokratickej ľavice (SDĽ) Róbert Fico spôsob, akým premiér Vladimír Mečiar očierňuje prezidentského kandidáta SDĽ Petra Tomku. V liste Fico vyzval premiéra, aby priamo oznámil, že nechce, aby bol zvolený prezident, alebo uviedol konkrétne dôvody odmietnutia vhodného kandidáta. (Mesto.sk)
Podľa New York Times však poradcovia všetkých kampaní priznali, že v najbližších dňoch sa môžu dostať k slovu aj špinavosti a negatívna kampaň. Denník Washington Post informoval, že viacero skupín a organizácií na demokratickej aj republikánskej strane už vyhradili desaťtisíce dolárov na očierňovanie kandidátov v televízii a letákoch.
