Well I wasn't going to vote for him anyway but am I the only one who doesn't give a damn what someone's toddlers think about their dad?

It just illustrates how dysfunctional our political system is. I'm sure it'll probably get him a few votes though. :banghead:

1. So glad I no longer watch tv except online video...
and only listen to XM satellite or NPR--I get to skip out on all the political ads.

2. Are you getting the robocalls?
Nice how they're exempted from the No Call List.

Bring on campaign finance reform! Like that'll ever happen. :eyes:

4. +1
Political ads in particular, but ads in general, really. It almost shocks me now when I travel or visit my parents/in-laws and watch regular TV, how often a single commercial will be repeated...sometimes more than once a commercial break, even! I am always glad to escape back to my Netflix/DVDs/etc.

3. Bennett did this too?
Is this all the rage now? Quayle in whatever state he ended up in and now Bennett?

6. Unlike Quayle at least Bennett HAS kids......
I would think that Bennett would spend his money explaining his "positions" this close to the primary. Typical politician.

Go Romanoff!
