Absolutely.  The Internet has really begun to change the face of it.  
there are more varying viewpoints that people have access to.  For now 
though, TV is still the medium of choice and that's very expensive.  I 
hope that the Internet has the same impact that TV has had, but I think 
that the impact will be a better one.  I always think back to the 
Nixon-Kennedy debates and the reports that came out afterwards and how 
different they were.  Those that watched the debate on TV thought that 
Kennedy did better, and those that heard it on the radio thought that 
Nixon did better.  BTW, I was not around then.  I remember the 
discussions in history and communications classes.  You would be really 
old if you were around then ;^)

  Well I see where you guys are coming from, but I think this is one of 
the
  things the internet is changing. Especially now that internet users 
are the
  majority in the USA. Getting your message out is no longer expensive.

  Sign's, ads, buttons, bumper stickers, etc do not contribute to 
voter's
  making an informed decision about who to vote for either. Good 
riddance I
  say.
