I wonder about the foolishness of a populace that is so gullible that it will vote for the politician it has seen the most ads from. To have the Democrat and Republican so well publicized that even the cats in the alley know about them, would SEEM in THEORY to be most conducive to an educated choice. But people are lazy and we can’t do anything about that except soul by soul.
Except that the same ads and messages are repeated over and over again, and the public really learns little of use about the candidates, just what focus groups indicate will sway opinion.
