Exercise 10 #3

This midterm election, I witnessed many attack ads that appeal fear to the opponent. There are many new ways for advertisements instead of billboards. Many politicians have invested millions of dollars in putting ads on the internet to attract young voters to swing in that direction. Depending on the age group of voters they want  to attract, they will put ads anywhere. Newspapers for the older generation, 30-50 by TV and the younger voters by internet. The one battle was for Governor of California. Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown made many attack ads against each other to discover the truth about each other. One was about Meg Whitman having a similar speech to former Governor Arnold  Schwarzenegger. They both said the same words in different speeches and at the end it said “ We tried this already”. I thought it was funny because it is true what Brown said. Whitman countered by stating about herself and how she created thousands of jobs through Ebay. Also Whitman contributed $147 million dollars in ads to lose to him. I feel that this is a good way of political arguments because they offer funny or attacking ads against their opponents.
