Does anybody really pay attention to political ads nowadays and do they EVER sway anybody’s vote?

Update:

Cara and Roland - I agree with both of you. Both parties have such ridiculous ads out though.

"Mitt Romney wants all black people to become homeless and destitute"

"President Obama is going to sell 3/4 of our country to China to pay off the massive debt, because, HEY! the land should belong to the world anyway"

    Yes and Yes. Do not underestimate the power of a large herd of idiots. If political ads didn't work, campaigns would not waste millions on them.
