Parties to spend millions more in new ads
The money spent on elections is becoming downright obscene.

i don't know how much Obama spent last time, but he raised three quarters of a billion--and that is without anything that the DNC may have given him.

Being an incumbent this time, he will no doubt raise at least that much this time; and Romney is outraising him so far. So, a couple of billion may get spent just on the two of them.

Then there are all the Senate and House races, and then the state races. We could probably support at least one small nation with that money.

1. With the speed of an old West gunfighter
I will flip the channel when one of these TV advertisements come on. Even pro-Obama advertisements are making me weary. I can now predict when, during the Jeopardy segment, the disgusting pro-Romney ad will come on, so I now even change channels preemptively. Join me. Change the channel. Waste their dirty money.
