Tim, re: 1 - Even if they have no value they should be able to run them. I believe in freedom of speech. First, you would argue with a rock about moss. I also believe in freedom of speech. But US politic campaign have been reduced to sound bite, image crap. No substance, no issues, and certainly no truth. These guys will be doing their damndest to produce an image, and avoid anything that will offend anyone. re: 2 - They have some value. They can communicate ideas even if only very simple ones. They also serve to increase name recognition of a candidate. A challenger can't unseat am incumbent if no one knows who he is. In a Presidential campaign, I expect most folks will know who the candidates are. Pay attention. These guys spend more on marketing than P&G spends on one of their brands. They've got the focus groups, they've got the handlers, the speech writers, everything is choreographed. These marketing guys are the best of the best. It's (Dem) marketing vs. (Rep) marketing. The only way to clean it is to level the playing field, allow equal dollars to both side. But that won't work... as I said before, a problem without a solution. John
