In any case, it was interesting to read a report by an independent univeristy research organization that reviews political ads that in the last week or so, McCain's ads are nearly 100% negative (about whats wrong with Obama and not what McCain would do as president) while Obama's ads have been about 30% negative and 70% about his policies and proposals.
I just dont believe the negative ads will work this year as much as they have in the past, with the economy hanging over everyone's head like no issue in recent elections.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm proposing.
If a company has a commercial at or around a John McCain advertisement, then I will boycott that product and I urge anyone sick of the political ads to do the same.
If the companies want my business, then perhaps they should contact the network they want to advertise on and request they pull the McCain ads.
I'm definitely advocating holding companies accountable for things outside their direct control. If you don't agree with my position, then don't participate in the boycott.
