Who will win the game?

As Election Day nears the Republicans and Democrats are desperately chasing after new strike tactics. While money is strategically flown everywhere, it makes me wonder if this is really a game...and it'll all be over soon.

While reading this article by the New York Times, I had to take a second look. At times I felt as if I was reading a war book.

Statements like: "...you’ve got to play defense," "...all we have to do is hold our own,"and "...leaders developed a strategy [...] to create a firewall against a [...] takeover."

Well, I guess it is a war...only in a different way. Sometimes I wonder how much our country is run by the citizens or by the politician's advertising dollars. I know this opens up a "can of worms" that has been tackled time and time again. But I couldn't help but bring it up just one more time, especially considering the outlook on recent advertising campaigns!

What do you think?
