Which would you vote for?

[angellica]

The following are ads from the two men competing for Senator for Mississippi. I am not from Mississippi nor was I eligible to vote for this election, but these ads ran seemingly nonstop during election time. Which one would you vote for and why?

Additional info: I do not know which one is Republican and which one is Democrat, nor do I know which one won. I'm just interested in your opinion.

Thanks for responding !

*For whom would you vote?

 

[Deadbolt]

Neither. Third party or a write in. Those are just about incomprehensible. The only thing I think they make a good case against is television ad based campaigning.

 

[Braunwyn]

Both ads are stupid. I'd go for a write in as well.

It should be pretty obvious from the ad who is the democrat and who is the republican.

Anyways, this is mississippi, even the democrats are social conservatives.
The fact that musgrove has to run ads assuring everyone that he's a social conservative really shows how much a joke Mississippi politics is. Wicker doesn't give a damn about economic issues he just wants to smear his opponent on Gay marriage even though his opponent opposes gay marriage, it's pathetic.

I honestly can't figure out anyone who would vote for a senator based on their position on abortion or gay marriage. I mean, they could be in the senate for years and not make an important vote on either issue. Most of that stuff is handled by the courts or state legislatures. Musgrove tried to make the election about the economy but he failed, the voters apparently don't care about the economy as long as "teh gays" arn't getting married.... it's actually even worse than that, if you look at the exit polling in mississippi it basically breaks down into two groups on racial lines. The white people voted for Wicker and the black people voted for musgrove, the white people won.

eitherway, showing just these two adds is only getting half the conversation i suppose, there are a lot of other ads.

And you're right, television spots are stupid, 15 seconds of trying to cram in your world view is really pointless, but how else do you get your message across?

And I'd vote for musgrove.

What the HELL did I just watch? Those ads made absolutely NO sense....I think the might have been passing into the negatives and making anti-sense or something :X

I'd support Musgrove just based on the fact that the other guy seems like a presumptuous douche.

Neither, frankly. If those are the only two choices you've got, then you want to start worrying...

 

[Nathan45]

it's also worth mentioning that wicker is a liar, musgrove never took money from naral, freinds of hillary clinton, etc.

The entire basis for Wicker's ad is a lie.

I would vote for neither. Both of them seem to uphold things that I believe are unethical.
