I attended the Goldstein thing. I though the most interesting thing he mentioned was the lack of a shared media experience. He pointed out that if you are liberal, you can watch MSNBC and read the Huffington post, while conservatives can watch Foxnews and read papers like the Washington times. He further said that this makes actually crates difficulties in political advertising. Cool stuff.
Another thing, Goldstein was quoted on the front page of the NY Times Saturday, talking about the massive edge that Obama has in advertising.
I think negative ads can have their benefits but they can be nauseating. I think the supreme court ads this year in wisconsin were worse than anything i've seen from either mccain or obama and I think Gableman is starting to pay the price.
