Having a satellite dish and not really ever watching any "local" channels, I get to see few political ads and no local political ads under normal circumstances, except that I do, since I spend a lot of time at my mother's apartment, where I basically see nothing but local political ads. Last week I sat through a commercial break where I saw four consecutive ads for local office-seekers, each for a Republican candidate, and each ostentatiously avoiding any mention of party affiliation, except for the little "Paid for" small print at the end.
The latest issue of Campaigns and Elections asked of the GOP, "Can this brand be saved?" While it obviously can (and will) Republicans are more on the run this year than Democrats were in 2002.
