View Full Version : A question for those of you residing in the swing states...
spa ced 07-23-2004, 11:52 AM Have you seen more commercials for Kerry or for Bush?
Since I live in Texas I haven't seen any really. I only see their commercials when they are featured on news programs.
BlueStar 07-23-2004, 12:00 PM When I was in Vegas, I saw a lot of Bush and Kerry ads. There really didn't seem to be more of one than the other, though.
jczeroman 07-23-2004, 12:16 PM There are a lot fo ads in Oregon. I have seen mostly Kerry and mostly healthcare-oriented ads.
Debaser 07-23-2004, 12:18 PM here in cali, i honestly haven't seen one kerry nor bush ad. but then again, i don't watch that much tv.
I_was_aborted 07-23-2004, 12:30 PM Recent numbers I found, they are rounded as I don't remember exacts.
Number of times ads paid for by Kerry were shown up until last month: 60,000 times
Number of times ads paid for by anti-bush groups were shown up until last month: 50,000 times
Number of times ads paid for by Bush were shown up until last month: 55,000 times
Number of times ads paid for by pro-bush/anti Kerry groups up until last month: A few hundred.

California is not a swing state.

Any state that is too close to call and any state that traditionally goes Dem one year and then Repub the next.

The kind of states that don't care whether they wake up next to a donkey or an elephant the morning after a night of heavy drinking.
Ok If I killed the joke I apologize but that is the mental image that came to mind when I read your reply.
Nimrod's Son 07-23-2004, 10:19 PM I think both sides just resigned California to Kerry. I haven't seen a single ad for either yet.
spa ced 07-23-2004, 10:54 PM Are you guys not following the news? Both candidates are practically spending nothing on the already decided states and instead funneling all their advertising money for airing commercials in only the swing states. So of course you aren't going to see any ads if you live in states like California or Texas because they are already decided states.
Just to clear up any confusion.
Pinnacle 07-23-2004, 11:48 PM A month or so ago, I saw more Bush ads, but lately there have been many more Kerry ads on TV.

I laughed.
sawdust restaurants 07-24-2004, 11:22 AM Ever since Edwards got picked, I've started seeing presidential ads on networks, which is just unreal for N.C. It's awesome, and a good feeling to know that my vote matters.
sppunk 07-24-2004, 08:06 PM I love in Tejas, and my vote doesn't make a difference, but I'm still voting.
