Seriously, it isn't as if I live under a media rock - I don't think it is unreasonable to expect Taft to try to get something out to me that makes me recognize him.

Maybe try to switch it up and instead of advertising on pretty much only channels which already give you airtime (like global), during a newscast nonetheless, you should put some dollars into other channels. Get your name out there Taft.
I agree with you.

I saw Hinmann attack ads. I was actually surprised how many of those I saw; for a fringe party they seemed to have an awful lot of money to throw at commercials.

I saw Stelmach ads. I thought the cheese was flowing pretty quickly from those.

I saw the negative ads with the "person on the street" saying how Ed didn't have a plan and was just spending like crazy, etc. They always said something like "by Albertan's for Change" (or something like that). I wouldn't have known who paid for that, except I read a newspaper article that mentioned how the Alberta Federation of Labour had sponsored the negative ads that were being aired.

I still can't recall a Liberal ad. If I did see one, it sure didn't make an impression.
