How much will be spent on voice-over feel good and then negative ad delivery, run in 15 sec, 30 sec, or even 60 sec sound-bite mania along with beer and truck ads shown us between changes of possession and during time outs of Viking broadcasts?
Which one again, I get confused, is the Silver Bullet candidate? Which has the heavy duty hauling capacity, and can seat four across the truck cab back seat? Which was in the Viagra ad? In the Men's Warehouse suit? Which can cure heartburn, but beware of rare side effects, and ask you physician if politics is safe for you in your medical condition.
It seems the only time an ad shows a candidate is in negative ads where some PR munchkin finds a really awful image of an opposition candidate to run with a stern voice warning us of Armageddon and the sky falling if this "look how ugly" individual were to win an election where YOU have a choice.
I recall the Bachmann-Wetterling campaign in particular. Bachmann adds did not have images of Bachmann, but of happy families and clean woodlands and lakes - or images of Wetterling in harsh black-and-white with the ominoius voice-over warning - bad for Minnesota.
It's already tiring having had to put up with a primary.
Dayton suggests a moratorium on negative ads. I suggest one on all ads. Leave us as alone now and in between - as you traditionally have and probably will leave us alone after election day.
