My less than charitable moment.
I do not watch much television and rarely get a chance to listen to the radio. So why have I seen the Bush/Clinton donate ad fifty times in three days and heard it on the radio at least a dozen times? Someone please tell me they are getting that air time for free. Does anyone else think this is a really stupid use of resources or am I a heartless monster for giving to charities before two ex-presidents ask me to do so?

1. Depends.
If paying 10K for an advertisement is responsible for 20K in additional endoresments, then you have 10K extra than you had before. Which makes it worth it.

2. Do you think it's working?
Just curious.

3. Truthfully, no idea. I hope so though. I just wish
that people would not forget the charities and people at home, too.
