Willard won big tonight and most of the punditocracy attribute his financial strength which gave him the ability to run enormous numbers of negative ads throughout Florida. Gingrich ran what negative ads he could afford so neither is a virgin in this.
I don't watch TV other than for news and, sometimes, a ball game so I never see a political ad. Nonetheless, they clearly work. One hopes that his compatriots choose on the issues but that's high hope and unlikely change. I know winning is everything but, somehow, winning ugly deflates the victory.
Sad, truly sad.
About Me
- Jim Sweeney
- This blog is about politics and people. Politically, I'm a conservative independent with city, state and federal campaign history but not party affiliation. I think of myself as a libertarian but I'm not a Libertarian. I'm a capitalist, a Milton Friedman economics believer. In real life, I'm a lawyer and consultant to both start-up and operating companies and founder of the American Children International Foundation. I've substantial business experience, including being CEO of a public company. I am single, live in Arcadia CA, have 4 grown children and a 10 year old son; served in the Marine Corps; enjoy baseball, tennis and am a warm weather guy. Hawaii is my favorite vacation place. It's America for one thing, blue-state America but you can't have it all.
