Hypotheticals

Here are two hypotheticals posed by friends in recent days.

1. What would happen if a presidential candidate said, "Hey, I'm not going to buy any television ads. Instead I'm going to use that money to do some good in the world"? Would they even have a chance at winning? Is television advertising more important than the media machine?

2. Can anyone think of one damn reason why voting should NOT be mandatory for citizens of a democracy?
