Dude, I was in Philly for the WEEKEND and I thought I was going insane with all the political ads. Can't imagine having to deal with that for months on end.

Yesterday, I don't know if someone fell asleep at the TV station switch or what, but I saw the very same Kerry ad FOUR TIMES in a row. I mean, I can handle four DIFFERENT ads, but hearing the same thing over and over and over and over made me want to hurt someone!

Honeychile: Delaware County is close enough for me. :) Yes, you're right that Rendell has to bring it home for the Democrats. Heck, he and other celebs (i.e. Valerie Harper) went stumping for the Dems in Lock Haven (where I went to college.) That part of the state is VERY rural and conservative.

You and the other stellar 'burgh Greek Chatters ROCK!

DolphinChicaDDD: All the political ads are driving me insane. You can't turn on the tv without seeing an ad from either: a) a local candidate or b) from the national candidates.

:rolleyes:

I was told that it's illegal to call a cell phone for political reasons. Hmm...

I hadn't heard that but good to know.
I think the reason they might be calling my cell is because when I switched my voter registration from Broward County to Orange County a few months ago, I did it through the MTV website. I think they may have asked for a phone number but I can't remember.
But, seriously, I've been getting at least one call a day on my cell from some celebrity telling me to vote or some other random person. They usually block their number so I'm hesitant to answer when I see "unknown" show up on my cell except that my parents call me via calling card so their number also shows up blocked. Sigh....
After Tuesday, I will no longer have to deal with this.

I live in a swing state. I love it. I love knowing that people in my state are intelligent enough to not blindly follow one party or the other, and I love that Wisconsin matters to the nation. :)

I think you're right. It would make sense that MTV would collect numbers-- many of their 18+ audience are members of the cell-phone-only crowd-- and then have P. Diddy and Spike Lee on recorded messages.

PS: Wisconsin is also a swing state, and I'm sick of the hype-- and the junk mail I keep getting from W. I haven't gotten anything Kerry, but my neighbors keep dumping W literature into our mailbox. And how the hell did the RNC get my address, anyway?

We've gotten tons of W literature too - it's ridiculous. Did you know that John Kerry wants to close down schools? We keep getting crap from "All Children First," some fools in Michigan.
