One of my friends brought up a good point on political ads.

He said that every ad shows the candidate talking and people listening, instead of it being the other way around.

I thought this was a good point. Would a Ron Paul 2012 ad make an impact if it shows RP listening to his constituents?

So maybe something like "You're catching on, I'm telling ya!"

It sort of conveys a passive message if an ad shows someone doing 'nothing'.. when they are talking, it shows them 'leading' or 'in action'.

I agree with you on point, but in marketing, its all about mass appeal and perception.
