In reply to Political attack ads?, posted by Racer on October 28, 2006, at 15:11:16
I'm not influenced by them-- but we never have them here.
It's probably because most political races in NY are no-brainers-- it's obvious who's going to win,, and by a landslide--
so no one bothers with ads.
And in Presidential years-- NY isn't a battleground state-- it's blue as blue can be== so the presidential candidate never show ads. I can't remember seeing even one in the last presidential cycle.
I don't think they'd influence me per se-- since my mind is pretty made up-- although they could inflame my preferences, I guess. Except that they're already pretty inflamed--
But then, again-- getting out the base in NY doesn't do much.
