I doubt that the GOP was the highest bidder.
The spending level of both sides is rediculous, with the kind of money spent by either side you could found a university , or a dozen universitys, it is just amazing that we do this.
I would say to vote contrary to the slick advertisements, but who would that leave?
The manipulation of the electorate can be disgusting ,it cant be considered as cconsultng the wisdom of the people.
It is done scientificly, and moreso every election, what the people want and need is less important then getting a win.
