One recent report said $72.5 million in political television advertising had run in Ohio between April and September. And, seemingly, 99% of that was negative advertising.
Tack on the national news stories where, seemingly, every one of them take a slam at Ohio either calling us the "Rust Belt" state or some such pejorative label.
And it's not over. We have almost a month of this still to go.
The collective psyche of Ohio has been through the ringer. This has to have a negative impact on our people's thinking and our collective attitudes as a state. In fact, it does.
It has me wondering. What is the recovery time for this?
I sure hope it doesn't take 48 months. Or we'll never come out of this cycle.
