...Budweiser or Coke will purchase enough airtime in a given week so that the average viewer will see the commercial 10 times, which equals 1,000 rating points. Forbes is beaming 3,400 rating points a week at New Hampshire via Boston TV right now, so that the typical voter there is seeing his ads 34 times a week; Dole has just less than half that. "Forbes is blowing everybody's doors off," says a Dole aide. And Forbes is doing this in several states at once, and not only on local TV and radio stations, but on cable...

His winning quirkiness these days is shielded by a layer of wounded suspicion. When a voter in Earlham, Iowa, asked him whether he supported same-sex marriages, Forbes reacted like he had been punched in the stomach, stuttering "...I guess you could say I'm hopelessly conventional...
...they will turn out to vote, nor does it ensure that they will be capable of voting in an informed manner. Therefore, we hope that the Youth Vote conference will succeed in tackling the difficult task of teaching its participants to effectively bring the issues back to their communities. Voter registration is one thing, but creating a well-informed citizenry is entirely different...
