Cali Residents - Political Ads?
 

I've got a question for California residents, or anyone else that may be able to shed light.

Has anyone else noticed a sudden increase in political ads? And counter-ads? Most of them mention the governor's plans with education. But I've seen a few about emergency room closures and parole terms. Most are criticizing the governor in some way. And then the Govenor puts out a counter-ad.

I guess my question is why? Is there some election coming up that I don't know about? Are people really that upset? And where is the money coming from?

Just curious.

Money for that usually comes from taxes (i know that part of the money here does) but California is a different state so I don't know.

Not entirely sure; in a completely different state. But here's my $.02 about mudslinging:

If the only thing you have to run off of is the fact that your opponent is a screw-up, you got nothin'. That's when campaigns devolve into "s/he's a more horrible person than I am," instead of "I think my goals are more realistic or better for our society," kind of thing. I wanna know what you're going to change, not what your opponent got arrested for 25 years ago.

I hate them and they should die....
