The availability of vast sums of money for TV ads also seems to feed this phenomenon. The conservatives seem to have developed this into an art-form. The liberal message, being more complicated, is harder to fit into 30 seconds. I would be interested to hear your opinion on this subject. Thanks for reading this, Aaron Krosnick Dear Mr. Krugman,
