I guess the economy isn't as bad as perceived.

Those people seem to have an endless supply of dough to throw at fundraising, commercials and various political events.

Here's an idea....turn the tv off.

I am. The half-dozen or so answering machine political messages every day are particularly annoying.

On a related note, is it me or have most political ads morphed over the past several years from the traditional campaign promise BS into tactless mud slinging?
If you believed all the political slander, then NONE of the candidates are worth voting for. In fact a sizable percentage should be in prison, if you believed their opponents.

I find them entertaining and they give me insights on both candidates. The targeted candidate because there's usually at least a small grain of truth which has oftentime been embellished upon & meticulously/irritatingly shaped sort of like a pearl, and the perpetrator because the more outlandish and blatantly foolish the ad, usually the more desperate and more of a liar he/she is.

The ads I really hate are the ones where a candidate squanders the supporter's money by saying nothing other than he/she is the answer to our dreams. I think that all ads (and campaigning) should be allowed for a LIMITED time (say 1 month) and the media should post their voting records and/or resumes. The interested voter can decide from there.

Btw I usually watch commercial free cable fare so I rarely see them.
