Politician Uses Five Second TV Ads. Thank God!

In a refreshing nod to the barely there threshold we have for windbag politicians spouting irrelevant nonsense, Indiana Democratic Governor Joe Kernan is running five second television ads (adlets?) giving quick, bite sized blips of information on the economy and his bid for re-election. Of course, Republican challenger Mitch Daniels is complaining claiming the spots don’t paint an accurate picture of Indiana’s struggling economy. Hello? One would think the opposition would be happy his opponent was buying less airtime.
