Election season well under way
Friday, September 3, 2010 10:46 AM CDT
Well, here we are. It is the start of political season. For the next several months, we will be blitzed, and bombarded at every turn with television and radio advertising, political advertising in the newspaper, internet campaigns, billboards, and on and on and on. Millions and millions of dollars spent by candidates to criticize, ridicule, and blast their opponents. Negative advertising abound, more to knock down their opponents than to promote themselves.
