An a polling situation

Midterm madness indeed. Every politician and their supporters and have their own gimmicks, tactics. Final attacking ads from left wing liberals and right wing conservatives sending voters in frenzied confusion.

The push poll -- designed to disseminate information about the candidates, rather than collect it -- is just one of the last-minute tactics inundating, and in some cases rankling, Maryland voters in the final week of a campaign. (Washington Post)

Yes. From stem cell research to having the phrase "under God" removed n out or have it remain with the pledge of allegiance.

And then the ads... dumping tens of millions of dollars just to convince people to vote for them. According to Evan Tracey of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. "Politics is probably the only business in the world where they spend the most money when they have the least number of available customers to pitch to" (Washington Post)

Man, these politicians and their fund rasing supporters are swimming in bucks. Televisions gonna be inundated with campaign ads. Voters gonna be swimming in television confusion. Shit. I have two ads, the left and the right... whom should I vote, please tell me! Convince me! Oh yeah!I think for some of the people voting, they make up their minds minutes before casting their ballots. And for others, they know already who they want to see lead their state.

We're going to experience similar frenzied motions, and money dumping ads and different gimmiks of running candidates next year for our May elections. Heh. Politics kills me. It's is soo exciting don't you think so? Boringly exciting. Lets see who leads the nation as people exercise their right of suffrage.
