    I wish you were right. Unfortunately, there are a bunch of idiot voters out there who just fill in the box next to the name they hear more.

      I would like some evidence to support this please. Especially this close to an election.

      I can tell you from personal experience that it sure as fuck didn’t work for Meg Whitman.

          I could see it working for two candidates people have never heard of. Beyond that, I doubt it.

          To go back to Meg Whitman, she totally inundated California. Every other radio and TV ad was about her. There were posters every place the campaign could think to stick them whether or not it was legal. By election day, everyone was so sick of her that she did not even come close.
