Comment Re:I chose negative (Score 1) 750

Former President Jimmy Carter was interviewed by Tavis Smiley recently and expressed an interesting (hint hint!) theory about all the negative ads.

He said that in his era when he was running against people like Former President Ronald Reagan they had nothing but mutual respect for each other and would refer to each other as "my distinguished opponent." But noted that the recent Supreme Court ruling, which he referred to as 'stupid', was to blame for all the negative ads and that dirty money was closely related to dirty tactics.

He was also quick to bring up the relation of negative ads to the near standstill in Congress in that once the Republicans and Democrats make it to Congress they all but hate each other. And to make matters worse, the Republican party's non-cooperation with Obama, even when he tries to push for what they had asked for months prior, has nearly succeeded in ruining Obama's popularity by blaming him for all their stubborn inactivity.

If we get gig to the house, I mean truly have that kind of bandwidth available, I don't think we'll see a need for much more for a long, long time.

Once speeds like these become available, once the opportunity arises and the market grows, we will find applications for it. Trust, we always do.

why the discrepancy? is it less legitimate to be from UCR and more legitimate to simply be from a UC?
