I have been watching TV a lot recently to see all the attack advertisements that the campaigns have been rolling out in the last week. With Election Day on Tuesday this week has been an ad blitz by the campaigns in the battle ground states.
I have never believed that political advertisements are persuasive or actually effect the vote totals yet millions of dollars have been spent on advertising this year. The negative ads are always the worst and believed to be the most persuasive by campaigns.
I found this article from the Flackcheck.org that effectively highlights some of the worst and most controversial ads of this election cycle.
The LA Times has a good list of other ads from this year as well.
What do you think of the political ads? Do they change your mind?
Here is a picture of the spending amounts for this presidential election compared to 2008.
