What type of adds affects you the most? What adds do you think are the most effective in public.
Well everyone says you need to run attack adds left and right. Thing is here in VA Tim Kaine runs 80% positive adds while George Allan runs 100% negative adds while bearly even mentioning himself. Yet Kaine's lead keeps growing. I personally think "negative adds are more effective" is a myth. It really depends on the validity and relevence of the add and the candidate.
A negative add thats spot on can be very effective, a negative add full of twisted facts and lies tend to backfire.
I personally also don't like random idividuals on adds especially when they don't talk about facts and specifics. Such as the Contraception add on Obama's side and the Small buisness add (with the lady and the bald old man) for Romney.
