1. I don't see any political commercials at all.

Probably because I don't watch local network tv. My sympathies.

10. I haven't seen any Romney or Obama ads, yet.

I'm in South Carolina, though.

Count yourself among millions re: stark raving mad by the end of the election. I get really fed up early on and it doesn't get any better.

2. I truly believe all those ads will turn people off.

It is like the drip, drip, drip of torture, but I think they will disgust all but the 20 some percent Romney has always had on his side and those undecideds, disgusted Repugs and some Democrats will turn tail and run.

Just hope they don't run away from the voting booth.

I thought being stark raving mad was kind of like a requirement.

(or heard, except when NPR occasionally plays one as part of a report) a political ad.

12. I own a tv, but I watch very rarely

( can't remember the last time) and then only PBS or the very occasional compelling national event. I listen to my local NPR station on the radio or to the N.Y and Santa Monica NPR affiliates on my ipod much of the day. I don 't believe I've seen a commercial tv program in 40 years.

7. That's why I'm keeping satellite through at least the end of the year.

Since I stay away from news and sports channels, my chances of seeing too much of the Citizens United bullshit are greatly reduced.

If there's nothing on PBS or TCM by November, I'll be using the set for DVDs I've stocked up on. Or I'll just listen to good music, I've certainly got enough of it on CD and there's always net radio from offshore.

And every stinkin ad is a Romney ad.

And they are all filled with lies and obfuscation.

I'm almost to stark raving mad....the only reason I don't yell is because I'm exercising.

I'm sick to death of "What would a Romney presidency be like". I just want to chuck my water bottle at the TV.
