False Fliers, Calls, Dirty Tricks as Vote Nears

As we close in on Election 2008 the reports of Dirty moves is on the increase throughout the Country, most notably in the battleground states.

The Democrats blame the Republicans and the Republicans blame the Democrats. This is the standard of both parties. Neither side can say it is the other party.

Does any of this really work? Fliers that tell voters something about the other candidate that might not be completely true. Phone Calls that give misleading if not false information. I don't believe it really works unless the person that gets these are some of the uninformed anyway.

We have seen the video's of people voting for a Candidate, but doesn't even know what that Candidate stands for. Those people may be able to be swayed, they were swayed to vote without knowing anything, so yes those people may be swayed. Other than that, I don't think it does anything except make the people who are making the calls and sending out the fliers feel better.
