What can you learn about candidates from watching their ads?
JEFF
GREENFIELD replies:
Well,
I believe that even in this day and age of extremely tightly run campaigns
you can learn something about them. You can learn how much respect they have
for you. I realize I have perhaps an oddball way of looking at this but I
think a candidate who acknowledges complexity even in the context of a campaign,
if not the thirty second ad, tells me something. I think the candidate who
acknowledges a mistake is telling me something. I think a candidate who is
speaking in nothing but cliches and manufactured words is telling me something.
