Political ads

I don't watch much tv and what I do watch isn't local channels very often, but I happened to have the tv on an LA station for about 5 minutes this morning. There were 4 political ads, none of which really said anything other than here I am vote for me. The strangest one is the Cruz Bustamante ad where he says "I was fat. I promised my family I would lose 70 pounds. I promise to lower your insurance rates." I get the whole idea of the promise but not the connection between losing weight and lowering insurance rates. I don't think I'm voting for him.
