ReplyDeleteSomehow it seems that now, campgaigns are more about mudslinging instead of focusing on the candidates and issues themselves. Some candidates are criticized for little things - for example, in this cartoon, Lincoln and Douglas are asked "why no flag pins." Back then they didn't have all the technology we have now, thereby allowing the public as well as the candidates to concentrate more on political issues. I also feel that now, ads use really simple techniques to twist an opponent's words and sway the American people. How do you feel about campaigns and campaign ads in the United States political system?
