Because some people want a "true american" in, which is one that resembles a cowboy.

Who's the flip-flop now?

Seriously, it's just laughable that the Bush administration thinks people are that stupid...OK, well some are.

Whatever the outcome, President Bush is either going to need to learn to be bipartisan or not do anything in his last two years

There's no question that the neocons are losing seats this year, the question is how many.

You underestimate the power of the dark-side.

That's underestimating your enemy. I don't do that until the battle has been won.

You, wisely do not.

No, meant that people who refuse to vote is exactly why the same people get elected every year, because the same people vote.

I'm cautiously optimistic 😛

I was reading some of the pre-election coverage in todays paper, and it got me thinking - what kind of laws does the US when it comes to political advertising?

I'm referring to the controversy over the Tennessee advertisement to do with Harold Ford Jr. Nothing like that would ever make it to the TV's in Australia, especially with the nature of laws surrounding campaigning. How does it work there? Besides, does tacky stuff like that really work?

There aren't any laws governing campaign advertising, barring the restrictions on advertising in general. At least, that I know of.

That Ford ad was definitely in bad taste 😬 I read about it in the New York Times

It matters not.

Really? It seems a lot of people (justly in my opinion) think it does.

I don't think I could ever vote for a party that campaigned on tacky tricks rather then beneficial policy.

Or a party that did nothing but hope its oponent defeats itself in an election rather then presenting policy.
