    How do you feel about attack ads during election season? Do they get your attention, turn you off, or have any kind of effect on you?

    No affect. I just had a phone call here at work, and it was a recording saying not to vote for Obama. I just hung up.

    I laugh at them. The first Obama ad I've seen in PA, I actually wasn't sure that it wasn't a Romney add until I heard Obama's approval message at the end of it. lol This is always a trend but with the Crats this year, it's especially true. If I were an undecided voter, I would think that the Democrats wanted me to vote Republican in PA. lol

    My mother said once we got down to the last two weeks it would be all out, the WORST attacks that we'd ever seen on the candidates and so far she's been right. I don't pay much attention to either side though, I've already voted.

    They make me not want to vote for anyone at all--these are the people that will be running our country, yet they're bitch-slapping, name-calling and hair pulling like a bunch of immature children on a playground? Grow the fuck up already, act like adults and do your jobs.

    They don't affect me or who I will vote for. That's just the way the game is played - they get nasty, they get brutal, that's the way it is.

    Not going to have an impact on who I'm voting for Shrugs (Oh well…) but I do think the ones complaining about negativity & mudslinging then turning around in the same ad & doing the "my opponent..." thing is hilarious.

    LOL, basically. I have my mind made up way before an election who I'm going to vote for and really nothing you can say will make me change my mind. They spend all this money courting people who are undecided, but "attack" ads are pointless to me. I already know what issues are important to me and who is the best candidate to address them.
