I'm in Virginia on business. WOW - the anti-Obama TV ads are awful and constant.

I live in Texas and we see nothing there except ads for local races; eye-opening what's being show here.

Flipping around the channels in my hotel room, I've had it on CNN for about an hour and have seen some crazy shit already.

To those in swing states, I feel for ya.

It starts about a year out from the caucuses and doesn't end until the election day.
