Political Ads and Commercials
David In Indy:
I have noticed a tremendous increase in political ads on the TV, radio and even on the billboards recently. And they are getting increasingly nasty in tone. I think it's safe to say here in Indiana roughly half the commercials on television are political ads. It's getting really ridiculous.
Have you noticed an increase in political ads in your state too? Or is this happening only in the so called battleground states?

I can only think of one Obama ad and some for Cornyn....(our Senator)
David In Indy:
Thanks for answering Jess, because I think Texas is safely in John McCain's corner and therefore not a battleground state. I was really interested in hearing from people in non battleground states such as Texas. In my state it is a totally different story. We are being bombarded with ads. Terrible awful hateful ads, coming from both candidates. It's really quite unpleasant to listen to. And do you know what else? The volume on the TV goes up when those ads come on. I have a thing on my TV that is supposed to prevent the ads from raising the volume but the political ads are sneaking past it. :-\
