Happy Election Day
November 4, 2008
It’s election day.
This means a lot of things. For those of us who are able, we have the privilege of voting. To make our voice heard. So go out and do it, for Pete’s sake. Seriously. What are you waiting for - tomorrow?
Also, it means we can gain a little respite from the barrage of political ads that have battered us into submission. I mean, you know, it gets to the point when you simply don’t care who wins, as long as you can get away from the yard signs and negative campaigning and endless e-mails about giving cash to already rich campaigns.
But before we say goodbye to all of the political advertising, let’s take a look at some historically negative campaigns.
For instance, the vicious hate-mongering that Stephen Douglas riled up against future President Abraham Lincoln.
Or what about the fear that George Washington placed into our hearts. At 3 a.m., we’d all want him leading our country.
(A major thanks to two of the best ad blogging minds in the adblogosphere: Make the Logo Bigger and Where’s My Jetpack? In fact, I’ll be the first to make the endorsement: MTLB/WMJ 2012.)
Happy Election day, everyone.
