It seems to us that “candidate marketing” has taken the ugly path to something akin to campaign muckraking. Instead of telling you what they can do for us, the varios candidates tell us what a “crook” or how incompetent and dishonest their opposition is. Who was it that said, “You protest too much!” Alas, it seems unlikely that the next couple of months (until the campaign mercifully ends) will only bring us more of the same. How sad.
