Polital Advertisment

With the election becoming increasingly close, political ads everywhere are becoming much more prevalent. When the ads first come out, they all seem fair and equal, just trying to get the message of their campaign out. Now, all the ads I see seem to be just breaking down their opponent. I wish they would just stick to their own issues and what they are going to do to fix the economy, and other issues.
I had never thought of protesting/picketing as advertisements until this year, but now I do. I have seen so many people out on street corners with signs for or against different propositions and I just love it. Its so nice to see people actually out on the streets expressing their beliefs. Its the great thing about America. And its a great thing about advertising. You have to notice them because it is usually a big group and everyone is honking to show their support. I fairly sure that this would only work for political issues because people feel strongly about them. I doubt if Nike payed a bunch of people to stand on a street corner to promote their new line of basketball shoes people would be honking and excited. It just shows how much emotions play into advertising.
