    "Al sama Zarqa, al Shams Safra, wa al warqa bayda"  "The white ballot is a clear statement of our discontent and frustration with the upcoming elections," "If there is a large percentage of blank ballots cast in the upcoming elections, then it may serve as an important indication of the political views here,"  "If you don't believe in any of the candidates, then why not cast a vote for a cause instead of a character?" "You can put that blank vote into good use and vote for a better future and environment,"

Mad Money: Tracking TV campaign ads in the 2012 presidential campaign - The Washington ... - 0 views

  •  
    Watch campaign ads in the 2012 presidential campaign and track campaign ad spending by candidates and interest groups. Super interesting site, I didn't know Romney was spending THAT much on ads (more than all the other candidates combined), it's crazy! Plus, if anyone still couldn't find ads for the position papers, there are plenty here, enjoy!
  •  
    I looked into Romney's ads, and when you see his campaign strategy, it's not too surprising. He has made ads targeted at individual states (new hampshire, missouri) and is attacking candidates left and right (mainly Santorum and Obama). These are distinct from the general platform ads he has running on TV.

"Welcome to Obamaville" is Rick Santorum's "Hunger Games" (Video) | Washington Times Co... - 5 views

    I can't believe his campaign actually produced this. AND the video we saw is only PART of a series titled "Obamaville" that will be available on his website. He is certifiably crazy. And his campaign manager must be on crack.

    Le Pen is going to cast a white ballot! Maybe now you could like her :P "I will not grant my trust, or a mandate, to these two candidates, On Sunday, I will cast a blank ballot"

    According to what I've heard, this was always the case with the Front National. Same happened when Jean Marie Le Pen was at the head of the party. They never endorse anyone

    WASHINGTON: Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney hit an off note when he told a "humorous" story about his dad shutting down a factory. Actor Robert De Niro managed to get both Romney's fellow Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich and the Obama campaign riled up when he joked at an Obama fundraiser that America isn't ready for a white first lady.
