So,
I had an interesting thought a few minutes ago regarding an email. This email was requesting a donation towards a given candidate to essentially help throw more advertising up.
So, my question is - just how much benefit do these ads get? I'm sure there is a way to calculate a return on investment somehow right?
Besides that, I think at this point in the elections damn-near everyone knows who they are going to vote for. So really, these donations and ads are for the people who don't yet know who they want to vote for on a given spot. The cost/benefit just seems ... kinda crazy.
Our politicians are spending a large fortune to get/stay in office - OUR money that is. ( our meaning any donations, not public funds of course - that would be illegal :-> )
Something I've griped about for some time while I'm at it. We need term limits on ( all of ) our federal and state positions. No more career politicians - people should jump in to politics for a while and then get on with the rest of their life.
