Be thankful for two things: These women fought for your right to vote, and you don't have to dress like this.

I think these commercials are convincing. Even though they may not be completely accurate they make you favor one candidate over the other. I guess they are somewhat effective, if they were completely effective they probably wouldn't be swing states anymore. If I were a voter in Ohio I was be really confused on who to vote for, the commercials raise good points about each candidate and it would be even harder to pick a candidate to vote for.
I believe those commercials are very effective. They are the little things that we see in between our shows. They most affect the younger people because of the things they try to promote and because many people at a young age have not yet figure out. So if I was a voter living in Ohio I would not known who to vote for because these commercial are very one side. Yes I no they are made like this for a reason but I believe they could add more of how they would fix each others flaws instead of just pointing them out and not really solve anything at all. I would totally basic who I would vote for just off of these commercial but I would do more research and find out how they really stand on the issues.
I think that the videos were really funny, especially seeing them in Spanish. The candidate said what they think in the ads but they also talk about the opposing candidate. I think that they should not do that and talk about each other. The part that was boring was at the end, when they said "I am John McCain and I approve this message." If I lived in the swing state of Ohio I would definitely vote for Obama because he shows more confidence and I agree with the most with him.
I think both candidates want to come out the better person. I know if i lived in a swing state i would be constantly confused. From these commercials they both look like they would be a good president. I think states where business is important they would vote McCain but states where families are important they'd vote Obama.In all the commercials Obama seems like the people candidate and McCain looks for what best economically, both are good.
i think this comericals are shocking. i think that if they were to show these commericals in California people would be a little upset. On the debate two nights ago, Bob said that the campaigns were becoming a liitle ugly. i didnt realized that it was ture on the other side of the US.
Personally, I would not be swayed by any of these commercials. I do not think they are convincing because it is pretty obvious what each candidate is trying to do. Some of these political commercials that are bashing certain candidates and politicians can be considered as borderline mudslinging. I know that even in California here I have seen such commercials that comment on a person's past or record in order to make the opponent, or endorser of the commercial, look like the better choice. So, if I was a residentof Ohio, I do not think that I would rely solely on biased advertising as a base for my voting decision.
These commercials demonstrate how competive the presidential elections are this year. But the commercials also demonstrate how much money each canidate has wasted in creating these advertisements. I believe they are convincing for the fact that it seems that one is lieing and the other isnt but the terrible thing about these commercials are that they target each other more then tell the people from these states what they are willing to do if they become president. I think McCain used more negative advertisement then Obama did.

i think these comericals are really shocking. i think that if people were to show them in CA, many many many people would be upset. Two nights ago on the presidental campaign, Bob said that the campaigns were becoming a negative. i didnt knw that he really ment it and that this was happening on the other side of the US.
I think that these commercials were effective because they have the potential to convince those who are in the swing states on which candidate to vote on. I still feel that most people shouldn't base their vote on these commercials because these aren't specific enough for a voter to just vote on what they saw in the ad. They are good ideas because they're good enough to confuse people on who to vote for but there is also the fact that the voters should be more informed of each issues. The commercials are good but people should know to search more information about the issue talked about and just use the commercial as general information.
I think that these commercials have the potential to be effective in the swing states. However, I think that with all of the negativity in the ads, it might just make people angry, so they might have to be careful about that. If I were in Ohio, I would be really unsure about who to vote for because you never know if politicians are telling the complete truth. I think that if I were in that situation, I would just do more research and not base my decision on the commercials.
When I was watching the debate the other day, there was a discussion about campaign ads. They accused each other of spending a lot of money on really negative ads. I have seen negative ads on TV from McCain, but the ones I have seen from Obama didn't really talk about McCain. Until now, I thought that McCain was the only candidate campaigning through negative ads, but I was wrong. Although I hadn't seen them before, Obama had ads criticizing McCain. However, he had a lot of ads just focusing on himself, whereas McCain's recent ads were criticizing Obama. I also thought that it was interesting to look back at the ones that were aired months ago, and I saw that those were a lot less negative than the ones that came out more recently. I also thought it was interesting to see where the candidates aired their ads. I noticed that McCain aired more ads in California than Obama, which is why we are seeing more of him on TV, and I was kind of wondering about that. I think it's part of McCain's strategy to win some votes from California, but I think he has absolutely no chance in the Bay Area, so he shouldn't even waste his money on the ads.
