I’m stepping back for a second and wondering something outloud.
Santorum is a wreck. We know this. But, if he wants to spend all of his time and his money living in Iowa, visiting every last voter in the state, do we really care?
Should we really care that Cain spent his money on this ad? He liked it. Okay, we can argue about whether or not it is effective. But, does it really matter?
If he has little money to spend and chooses to spend it this way, I have no problem with that. It’s not like he has the funds to advertise on the networks.
The ad will speak to those who find it and like it. Others will never see it or dislike it.
Does it really change the big picture for the voter or not? Either you like him, or you don’t. I think that is what he’s saying with this ad.
Cain is bringing in a million a week so far in October :-)
Wasting money on this kind of thing says that he isn't fiscally responsible, so in that aspect, yes, it's important and does mean something.
He already has a base who likes him and that's who this thing ( it's hardly an "ad" ) is directed to.
And as far as what the thing "says",it's being taken as a "blank slate", though it truly isn't one, by his supporters here. And THAT is a shame!
