Without publicly leaning to the left or right, I have to be honest.... I am through with the political advertisements for this election cycle. Everywhere I turn, it is smear and boast, smear and boast. Print ads, radio spots, and television commercials: media overload! There is even a 30-minute infomercial from one of the candidates! I am wondering if these candidates are taking cues from Billy Mays and Tony Little ("YEAH, BABY!")
. Unfortunately, these "in-your-face" ads are effective to a certain degree, which is why they continue en masse.
Would I feel any better if the candidates focused on the issues... I mean REALLY focused on the issues? Probably not. In my opinion, there is no substitute to solid research undertaken in the privacy and comfort of one's own home. Let me draw my own conclusions. Steer me... Yes, preach to me... not so much.
