Would this work? (election)

I'm sure this isn't an original idea so don't take this as me thinking I just invented the wheel.

But what if one day a canidate said, "we have 100 million $$ for advertisement, but instead of doing that, we are going to donate all of it to cancer research."

I would think the free coverage you got from the media would some what make up for the lack of attack ads on tv.

I don't think i'm the only one that basically just zones out when the political ads come on tv, maybe they have more value to others, and i'm under estimating their worth.

I doubt it will ever happen but I wonder if it would work.
