Last week, I talked about how each of the gubernatorial candidates spent their air time attempting to rain on each other's parade.
This week, I couldn't help but notice all of the advertisements they put up to actually praise themselves. They were actually talking about themselves and their plans for the state! I FINALLY caught that! But that is when I realized, I'm starting to appreciate them bashing each other instead. To be completely honest, I don't usually follow up on politics, whether it's for the state or the nation. I know I probably should, and I couldn't really explain why until I started paying attention to Whitman and Brown. Politicians, of all elections, use platitudes and I can't stand that.
What do you hear Whitman say? I promise more jobs, better living, and better education.
That's cool.
Then what do you hear Brown say? I promise more jobs,... better living, and... better education?
Well wait a second, didn't I just hear that?
It's hard to give an opinion on cliche empty promises that politicians have no choice but to reiterate time and time again, simply because, well, they are politicians. There's nothing else they can really promise but the world. However, as an analysis? Neither of them are really setting out a successful message with the constant delivery of platitudes. At least not for me.
