Auntie Charo's Soapbox

In the 'olden' days, one could hardly stand to watch the news. There were as many gubernatorial ads as were running, as many senatorial ads as were running, et cetera. This election, maybe one for Moylan or Camacho, seldom one for the other two. However, U/A has frequent ads on K57 and I assume M/S has many on Daddy's station.
But the big bucks seem to have been spent big time on the signs on the high-ways. Colorful pictures of the candidates that don't say anything about what the candidate can bring to the government.
Gone are the creative advertising days when people came before a camera to say, "I know George Bamba." or, "I like George Bamba". It was catchy. These days, you watch people as they try to read something that was written by someone else that they have a hard time pronouncing words as they read from the script...it's no wonder they can't afford more ads.
During the last election, it was a big deal that Camacho and Kaleo wore handsome business suits wherever they went. Well, they don't go anywhere together(duh!!!)and neither wear suits, in fact, Mr. Camacho often appears as if he's come right from a golf game. A recent ad shows Robert in a navy blue suit...rather handsome, at that! Uncle Carl? Well, for the most part, he's always in yellow and looks spiffy no matter the heat.
I suppose that the media will get their share of big bucks just before the primary and I'll complain because of the campaign ads....can't win for losing, huh?
