Political Campaigning (Tuesday, March 28, 4th period)

"Today we're going to watch some political ads," Josh said, walking over to the television. "This has nothing to do with the notes I was writing on the board rearranging themselves to tell me that I was an expletive-deleted tax-and-spend liberal." He glared at the board behind him. "This school is weird."

He popped in a tape. "Pay particular attention to the Daisy ad, the Willie Horton ad, and the ad about the bear in the woods."

He sat down at his desk. "Then, discuss. Why do you think these work? What are they trying to tell the voters about the candidate? Their opponent? How to they make you feel?"

He waved his hands. "That kind of thing. Go. Talk."

"But you'd need twice as much advertising material that way. Maybe some sort of unisex slogan. 'Democrats. We like going down (but not in the polls).'"

"Oooh, good call," Angel said. He beamed at her. "I like the way you think."

Callisto grinned back. "And it helps prevent future scandal when an elected offical is found to enjoy floral hex, since it's not like they didn't warn anyone."

"And you can't say that's not a useful thing to plan on."

"Considering most politicians have the descretion of a dog in heat, pretty much."
