Welcome to Campaign Ad Watch, where we cover political ads, attack ads, campaign ads and, sometimes, just plain funny ads!

Our aim is to have coverage of all sides of the political campaign spectrum in equal doses.

You can find some of our favorite info in Mother Jones magazine and the political, literary magazine The Atlantic.

If you know of a campaign ad we missed, kindly let us know.
