Saturday Morning Political Ads

Just because I'm that kind of guy, I've just been watching Kerry and Bush ads at their websites. Based on the ads alone, we're screwed. Putting myself in the mindset of an average middle America, middle-class voter, Bush's ads tell me everything I want to hear. Kerry promises some good things, but then Bush's ad deconstruct them and tell me about the wide gap between what Kerry says and what Kerry does. Never mind the gap between what Bush says and what Bush does...and never mind the fact that the majority of these 'flip-flop' statistics that the Bush ads are using are often a decade old or more, when the nation and the world where in rather different circumstances. Middle America isn't going to bother to read the fine print.

As I've said before, I think that the debates will be very interesting to watch. And I think that they'll be key.

I'm going to be a wreck on election night.
