b. Discussthe increase in the number of negative advertisements, noting that while most people vilify this practice, the benefits outweigh the political costs in spite of legislation like the Stand by Your Ad requirement.
c. Analyze the spending trends between the two parties, noting that while both predictably ramp up spending before Election Day, there is a clear partisan different in the source of the funding for the ads.
d.Identify that although candidates rely heavily on advertising,the bulk of that advertising is aimed specifically at a small number of competitive swing states, using the spending patterns of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney in 2012 as a relevant example.
