voting for the least annoying candidate

[calimac]

Here's a clue, politicians. If you're running for a relatively low-profile down-ballot office, like state legislature or a county office, don't deluge the voters with endless flyers or giant ads on tv or in newspapers. Because all you'll do is make me wonder, "Who's funding this person?" and make me reluctant to vote for you.

Indeed, for one local office there were two candidates, of which I was very skeptical of the incumbent. But the challenger's ads were so glaring that I got even more uncomfortable with him. I voted for the incumbent, who won.

That person of whom you speak also flooded YouTube with ads. I often call up pieces I'm working on in my lessons on YouTube to see how various performers interpreted them. Every time for the past month, I've been getting the same ad from the same person. Enough is enough.

I find all YouTube ads to be annoying enough that I signed up to pay the ransom for the ad-free version.
