Massachusetts residents, especially those with strong voting records, are seeing their mailboxes besieged by doctored photos of Senator Scott Brown posing by a truck full of cash, Elizabeth Warren angrily guarding a locked door, and a host of other incendiary images, as the Senate campaign enters the homestretch.
With the race now in its final month, the direct mail efforts have expanded as outside groups seek to influence the competitive election with millions of dollars in spending.

The utility of such mail for me is that I vote against any candidate who sends it or allows it to be sent on their behalf. More often than not it means 'none of the above.'
Allows it to be sent on their behalf? How would they stop that?
You stop it by telling those groups not to. If they do it anyway you make a PSA stating that you oppose their actions. The sad fact is both of these candidates are behaving badly, so neither deserves my vote. I'll write in your name, whatever it is, before I'll vote for either.
Yes, my daughter is getting Warren ads daily. She assumes it is because she is a college student that she is being targeted by Warrens camp. They go right to the trash. What a waste of money. In fact, it's just one more reason Warren will NOT get her vote.
I simply do not trust the intelligence of anyone who is voting for Liz Warren or Obama. You are employees at will. Anyone showing-up with a Liz Warren bumper sticker on their car is too dumb to work for me and too unstable to represent my company.
So, "user", I guess you would refuse to employ more than half of the Massachusetts electorate? Some "job creator" you are.
Yes! You should all be happy that the Postal Sevice is being helped to pay down its debt. Like the local TV stations, another real winner out of this election season is the USPS.
To be perfectly honest, I'd rather they cut out the middleman and pay me directly for my vote, but maybe I've gotten cynical.
