I was actually of one person in particular. I welcome your thoughts, ideas and opinions...but to get back on topic.
Not being able to pick up direct broadcasts is most likely the reason why you wouldn't see any election commercials.
Those "singles phone line" commercials I thinka re on every station late at night.
I would like to see the US commercials. They'd be interesting to watch.
But since I don't think they are shown here I will get my updates from the news and newspapers. But in all honesty I haven't been following the US campaigns that closely. So I don't have an opinion of it.

I know you didn't mean me, I was being silly!
You could probably see US commercials on the internet at the official re-election site for the president, and the one for John Kerry. Amusingly enough I only have seen one commerical, and repeatedly at that. It is about Kerry flip flopping, and is put out by the Bush campaign. I think it is rather amusing in the respect that this is one of the MOST republican areas in the nation, so perhaps it is not needed in the area?
I am just in awe of the amounts of parties there are in Canada. We have the two big ones, and then a few others, but they aren't large enough to have an effect on their own. As far as mudslinging goes, I think that is part of the political process, and is used by many outside of it.
"I think you're wrong and stupid, I am right, and no one is better/smarter/more qualified than me. Now I will call you names and manipulate facts to further my own agenda, because I can't come up with anything to say of substance, so i will just insult you."
Is that about right?
