Negative ads and the GOP
By Heraclitus
The Republicans are focusing their efforts on negative campaigning, in an effort to steer attention away from the actual issues in this election. They know they can't win a debate about Iraq, the national debt, and so on, so they're hoping the voters will forget about those things if they make the Democrats seem scary enough. It has, of course, worked before. I'd actually like to post more on this in the future, and in particular on the effects of negative ads on women. I've heard that negative ads are much more likely to dissuade women from voting. I haven't done much research yet; does anyone know where to look? Thanks.

Don't know about the effects on female voter turn-out. But speaking of negative GOP ads, have you seen Vernon Robinson's latest?

After several more of his campaigns, I plan to package all of his ads and market them to hipster stoners.
