The wife and I are already sick of the obnoxious candidate and ballot ads and there is still 39 days left until the midterm election. We now DVR every single show, and I can't wait for the pollsters to start calling and asking about ads. I'm going to tell them I fast forward at 16x speed. If I want to know about them I'll check their website.

Maybe the DVR will be the weapon that cuts down the ridiculous amount of $$ it takes to run a campaign. We can only hope...................

    Personally, I can't sit through commercials. I buy entire seasons once they come out on DVD.

    However, if they ads had no impact on the election outcome, one can assume that they wouldn't run them...

    All it is, is just mud slinging by each side with the hope that something sticks in a voters mind before pulling that lever. Stupid, I know but it obviously works for the sheep out there.

    I do the same with some tv shows, just rent the whole season and zip through them commercial free.
