885. That’s how many ads the Obama campaign has bought to run in the Denver area just this week. The Romney campaign has purchased 825 spots for the same period. And those numbers don’t include ads purchased by super PACs! But it could be worse. Denver is only 7th on the list.
… and it’s only June 19 … 🙁
Good grief PT, it must be an I-70 thing. “8. Columbus: Obama 723, Romney 610.” When you head north, can I come with you? Please?!?!
LOL. Sorry, I didn’t see Columbus on there. Absolutely I’ll pick you up. You’re a bit out of my way, since I plan to head for the Canadian Rockies, but some good company would make it a lot more fun. Split the gas and share the driving and you’re in. Sposed to be even prettier up there than here. And no fires!
Well, that pretty much covers the “grand essentials of happiness,” doesn’t it? 😀
🙂 Yeah, it does!
I’m still looking for a cave in the Northern Territories that has high speed internet….
Yeah, I remember. But I’m thinking I be happier in a cabin around Lake Louis someplace. Soft, clean beds, dry floors, and a restaurant nearby. Oh, and must have Internet access. But you’re welcome to ride with us as far as we go.
That internet is SO important!
For sure!
And I’ll bet it would be filled already with U.S. “escapees” with more foresight than us! 😆
LOL… well, if the cave is deep, I’ll share.
If there are no rooms at Lake Louise, we’ll just keep going to your cave, I guess.
A colony of American ex-patriots living in a Canadian cave? The word “deep” has suddenly taken on new meaning! 😆
Wait, wait. I was only thinking till after the election. Or the day before, so I can vote. I would be vacationer, not ex pat.
Apparently, you’re a lot more optimistic about the outcome than I am PT! 🙄
My trip to Canada was contemplated just to avoid all the insane campaigning — the ads, the robocalls, the surveys, etc. I don’t think they will change a thing, but I’m tired of the hassle that is adding absolutely nothing worthwhile. I really don’t want to watch who can spend the most money to buy the most ads to buy the most votes to buy the presidency.
If only we’d thought of prohibiting government from passing any law that abridged “Freedom FROM Speech.”
An excellent point ImA, but then ignoring it was a lot easier in those days, when you actually had to go out of your way just to hear a political speech!
Too late now. We little people don’t have enough money to pay off the lawmakers. It’s the corporations that own and run Washington now.
