re: #183 Dark_Falcon

Relatively few people watch web ads like that, maybe 1 in 5 would do that in July. And most Americans won’t see the ads on TV, because only 12 of the Lower 48 states are seeing major ad buys. New Hampshire is one of them, though.

But, due to our electoral college, those 12 states are the only ones that matter…no other states are in play. People like you and me (in CA, IL, TX, etc) don’t really cast votes that matter at the prez level because our states are so solidly blue or red.

A system that encourages candidates to spend more time in 10 states than the other 40 combined seems off kilter. And a system that encourages candidates to spend more time in Miami than NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Seattle, San Fran, etc. COMBINED is just downright ass-backwards.
