America, Your Fate is in My Hands

Indiana had more political ads for & against the Health Care bill,then
any poltiical issue in years. I can't imagine such an all out effort
by any political party ever. It was crazy.

I can't wait to see the next election time comes around.

Even the word game site I occasionally visit has a political ad as the preroll. I keep the sound turned off on my machine most of the time anyway, or this would be even more annoying!

What is the political climate like in your state? Has there been any
state issues that have driven the current "feel" of the political climate?

[Karen]

All anyone talks about now is the Senate campaign. There's nothing really about anything else, despite having regular problems going on.

It's everywhere when it comes to elections, you are given choices between worse and worser... or the lesser of 2 evils.

And no, Atty Gen Coakley and Sen. Brown, I'm not going to call my friends in Massachusetts and tell them who to vote for.............

But there is a third party candidate running.

Here in RI, if you get your TV service through Verizon FIOS as I so, you get all the Coakley / Brown ads as well. AND they are on my RI radio station.

What a frenzy! Those 2 are going at it like crazy.

I understand it is an "off" election, not in November, and an important one. Need to get the word out for folks to VOTE! And voting IS important.

But my goodness, the tone of these ads!

But there is a third party candidate running.

But the third party candidate is not running very hard. We hear nothing from or about him, it seems like he thought "Gee, my last name is Kennedy, maybe that's all I need," and has done nothing else. No ads, debates, speeches, letters, or even a postcard ... little wonder he is polling lower than "undecided" at this point.

Today we have had just as many messages on the machine as yesterday, and it's gotten to the point where, when the phone rings, I don't even bother to turn and look. If it's a real human that I know, I can call them right back.
