 1988- George Bush's campaign realized that our brains were mushy and video bites and short phrases worked better than content. To me that was where political advertising as an medium to convey ideas died. I have a campaign poster from 1972 than Nixon put out. It has content. On a political poster. But, outside of debates, we aren't getting any of that anymore. Obama's two biggest posters from 2008 had an image and 1 word. We are not headed for a more intelligent political discourse anytime in the forseeable future.
