All of Sheldon Addelson's money won't penetrate the vacuum those few undecided voters reside in

I suspect you underestimate the numbers. But in any case, there are enough of them to determine the electoral votes of enough states to determine the election.

I think the term "negative ad" is too vague in itself, and that there are two related issues that make a big difference. One is whether the ad is substantive or personal and the other is whether it's true. An accurate description of an opponent's record is fair game, IMO, but personal attacks, especially when not even accurate, are totallt different, and they should not be lumped together under the same term..
