It is crazy. Does it get any nastier than politics? <BR/>I don't know how it is OR but we have been swamped with political ads. <BR/>I am just praying for the right leader to be chosen. When I vote I am going in thinking about Character, leadership, who's direction is going to be the best for my family, kids and their kids, and so on....<BR/>Thanks again for this great post brother.<BR/>I hope you have a wonderful week.preachermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922837614859997243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-36903302663148760762008-09-10T08:09:00.000-07:002008-09-10T08:09:00.000-07:00Seriously, just check the box and get on with what...Seriously, just check the box and get on with what really matters.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245108681402960415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-48971057368646797822008-09-09T22:53:00.000-07:002008-09-09T22:53:00.000-07:00What's weird is that I see all these people abuzz ...What's weird is that I see all these people abuzz about their canididates and the campaign all over TV, but I don't know a single person like this. I don't get it. People, especially Obama supporters, treat this election like the fate of mankind is at stake.<BR/><BR/>I agree with Ted. Do the ads really make a difference?Jake Shorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124378230594689452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598000692924480398.post-82760986870487202452008-09-09T09:44:00.000-07:002008-09-09T09:44:00.000-07:00I'm a big fan of the Gordon Smith vs. Jeff Merkley...I'm a big fan of the Gordon Smith vs. Jeff Merkley ads. They seem to be getting uglier all the time. I'm waiting for something like, "Jeff Merkley wants to eat live human babies." Or, "Gordon Smith causes stomach cancer." I'll vote for whichever one of them buys a 30 second spot and just shows a big piece of dog poo with flies buzzing around it on a hot day and their opponent's name with a red flashing arrow pointing at the poo. The only words in the whole ad would be, "I'm (candidate) and I approve of this message."<BR/><BR/>I've got to wonder, is there anyone who has seen a politcal campaign ad for one cadidate that cuased them to change their vote? I'm sure there have been ads for ballot measures which have achieved this, but most if not all people I know have decided who they will vote for as soon as the primaries are done and we know who will be on the ballot. I also know that there are ads which disgust some voters to the point that they will vote for the opponent just to send a message. I'm wondering though if anyone has ever seen an ad and gone, "well, he's got a point, I think I'll vote for this guy instead." I'm mostly just curious from a standpoint of the number of voters won by campaign ads vs. how much the candidate spends. Would it be $1,000 a voter? $5,000? $20,000? More? I really have no idea, but I would honestly like to know.<BR/><BR/>I heard a guy say something that bothers the distrustful conspiracy theorist inside me the more I think about it. He said, "if voting made a difference, they'd outlaw it."<BR/><BR/><BR/>tedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
