Ever changed your vote based on a political ad?
Then who the hell are the targets for the never ending slog of the damn political ads?
November can't come quick enough.

No, and that goes for yard signs, too.
Speaking of ads, the dumbest ads I know of are those that say 'as seen on TV' as if buying a TV ad makes the product or candidate better.

No TV here...
I find the programming and commercials to be subversive at a minimum... and poisonous more often.
Local plumbing shop runs FOX on a TV (owner is a sole operator in his late 80s)... I go in there a few times a month (that is my only baseline).
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I examine all the ads, carefully go over the records of the candidates, read what they have said, check their records. Then I bite the bullet, and vote for the person I think will screw me the least. I have not always been on target.

No.
Those ads and yard signs are designed for the wishy washy moderates that can't make up their mind on whether to vote for good or evil.

Political and realtor signs make good target holders so they do serve a purpose...

Lee is the Gov of TN because of ads. He was in third place for most of the race...then Dianne Black and whoever the second place guy was started hate ads against each other. Lee kept out of it and even had positive ads. In a matter of weeks he went from last place to Gov. He's done an Okay job, not great, but Okay.

I would guess most political ads are driven by those that make money on them . . .

I'm guessing that the majority of voters are influenced by political advertising. I think most people dont' "dig into" candidates or issues beyond what is fed to them by political advertisements and, unfortunately, what their preferred news guy/gal feeds them.

Just look at how many people whine about seeing "negative ads". If someone comes on the boob tube blowin' sunshine up their ass, by golly, they'll vote for them!
Idiots.

You guys gotta understand. Half of America's voters are waxing their Range Rovers or sucking on a crack pipe as we speak.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
