And, I'm afraid we're just getting started. Read an article recently in the Chicago Tribune about Norfolk, Virgina, which is getting swamped with political ads from Obama and Romney. While I was in North Carolina earlier this month, they were getting swamped as well.
If these political ads concentrated on what the candidate wanted to do, that would be one thing, but all these are amount to personal attacks. The way I'm viewing them, even if they are only remotely true, is that the two men running for the top position in the country should probably best be considered as candidates for long jail terms.
I don't know what their "advisors" are saying to them, but, at this point I will probably have to vote for which ever one offends me the least, meaning, whoever has the fewest attack ads. Even better, perhaps a viable Third Party can come together and give us an actual choice.
We are just now getting some of the negative ads here in Illinois. No doubt, we've been spared till now because Illinois is not considered a swing state as the Land of Lincoln, once a Republican bastion (well, weren't the Southern states once "The Yellow Dog Democrats?), is expected to go for Obama.
