THE JOY OF REPETITION


As we all know, Colorado happens to be a swing state for this election. Swing state = a whole lot of repetitive advertising for both McCain and Obama. We don't watch a ton of TV, but I'll admit that I always try to watch some news in the morning and the national news in the evening. Today, Ethan was busy playing when the commercials came on. Without even looking towards the tv he said "that's Obama." As the very next commercial started, he said "that's McNain." Yes, John McNain. He recognized the commercials simply from the sound of their voices. So my fellow Americans - I can honestly say I'm anxious for this political season to come to an end. It's time for Ethan to get back to learning jingles about far less annoying things, like soap.

You are in a "swing" state & I couldn't imagine the pressure. I too am tired of the ads. Every station---all day long! Can't wait until the election is over, depending who the Pres. will be!
