It needs to be gagued over time in leadership #s, and even then it can be tough to link to a cause.<br /><br />Certaintly no home run yet anyways. But the higher Ontario # does give me pause.<br /><br />Nevertheless, I've maintained all along we need a response campaign, and that feeling hasn't changed.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-309625338487005532009-06-08T08:35:05.804-04:002009-06-08T08:35:05.804-04:00I'm surprised that Nik still bothers with thes...I'm surprised that Nik still bothers with these sorts of questions.<br /><br />There is absolutely no evidence that I've ever seen that people have any idea what effect ads have on them.
