...no ads at all, none. More stumping... look at Kerry's crowds... look at how Bush has to be coddled and propped up and babied. If they had to rely SOLELY on their candidate's ability to sway the average person with ideas, on their intellect, on their grasp on reality, on their empathy with the average person... well, I don't even have to finish that sentence. :)
