The fact is that there is a saturation point and buying more TV ads would be a waste of money.
I live in AZ and cannot believe that the ads have any impact after weeks of non stop blasting, and over half of the people have voted.
Might still have an impact in places like Atlanta and Dallas.

Other places like Dallas and Atlanta have had fewer ads so will have a bigger impact.

most likely has no idea what the ad is but is confident enough in his team to say OK, whatever you think is best. I like that quality. Why have the best if you're not going to listen and take their advice. The ad is probably not a big deal but his listening is.

I truly don't mind them. It's the deeply negative ads for other races that are getting on my nerves.
