This coming from someone who now lives in Chicago! I'll never forget one ad which was done in the format of sound bites from "random" people. One illustrious man-in-the-street sneered that the opposing candidate had even supported George McGovern's presidential run. This, of course, meant that the candidate paying for the ad felt he would win votes by essentially reminding everyone that he was a big Nixon supporter.
