I wish it were true that voters took the time to understand the issues in order to choose and support the candidate that represents what they believe is important. But seldom does that happen. Too many voters are influenced by what the media and the talking heads, and yes, the negative advertising says to them. It's been proven time and again. It's happening before our eyes in Iowa. How many poll leaders have we seen that were put down by negative advertising. Newt Gingrich is the most recent and notable. He rose in the polls quickly, drawing a sunami of negative advertising funded by the super PAC supported by one of the candidates. In a matter of a couple of weeks Gingrich was dropped from leading the field with somewhwre near 30% of the voters to his present position down around fourth or fifth in the polls. Unfortunately, the negative advertising funded by the super PAC's works. That still leaves us with the questions...where is the money coming from?...and why?
