endure that bullshit for like a year. I have heard there is no more air time left in states like Ohio that they have to go to other states and we see yours on the Pittsburgh stations too.

8. What do you think the rationale is for sending Clinton to PA?

Is the Obama Campaign worried that the state is narrowing, or do they just want to make sure that it doesn't feel abandoned?

16. The latter.

I read Obama people said they planned to answer Romney wherever he goes. Clinton's the closer. He's giving Pa. the final pat on the back. Is Joe going too?

American for Prosperity

Ad 1:
I voted for Obama
Now I'm not
He sucks


Ad 2:
I am so tired
We are headed for another recession
We will all die!


Haven't seen any Romney ad in ages, but then again, we are in the Greater Philly area.

5. It seems Romney might lose Florida

They must have gobs of money to burn and the President doesn't so they want him to forget Fl and OH. Spend the Obama money instead on PA. Unless PA is indeed vulnerable?

11. Yes, and my other reaction is that the commercials are terrible.

I've been at this long enough to know that negative ads usually have their intended effect, but watching these (ad nauseum) gives me a different feeling, namely that anyone who had not made up their mind yet (!?) or had not yet decided to vote at all, will be repulsed by the anti-president ads - both their content, and their bizarre frequency.

too many and they have tuned them out. Even my low information voter relative says that.

12. It's at all levels and many candidates

From KYW to WEEU; these are the most popular AM news station and my AM local radio. It's like the flood gates (to the sewer) have opened. Heard one ad from some obscure group that claimed Sen Casey had supported legislation that harmed our soldiers in Iraq and other bad things. I can't wait until Tuesday is over. I swear it gets worse every year and I haven't heard peep about repealing Citizens United. I'd think any candidate that supports limiting this filth would win in a landslide.

13. There's a poll I'd like to see.

I'm really curious if this suffocating swirl if ads is actually swaying voters. I know I just fast forward, mute, change the channel or ignore. I wonder if there are voters out there still paying attention. I assume no, but clearly the campaign guys must think yes?
