Happy day
Post election day is a happy day. Is it because the party I most often side with did so incredibly well? No not really, though that is nice. Is it because Rumsfeld has “resigned”? Nope, though that is nice too. I know, it must be because with the government now split in a more bi-partisan way, the broken system of checks and balances will likely be restored. Nope, not that either. It’s because I no longer have to listen to those awful political advertisements. I don’t watch much television anymore, but I see enough to know how disgusting politicians have become when it comes to campaigning. I didn’t ever particularly care about the race for governor of Arkansas, as this doesn’t feel like home to me, but rather just a pit stop in my life. However, I’m glad to see that Beebe is winning solely on account of his challenger’s mud slinging campaign. I hate politicians and I hate politics.

In DC, we don't have real representatives... and if you win the Mayoral democratic primary, well, you're the Mayor. But we're also right between VA and MD... so we got hit with the ads for all of the big VA and MD governor, house and senate races... bllleeeaaahhhgggg.
One of the worst actual candidates actually tried to distance himself from the negativity by showing an ad that said: "I'm Michael Steele, and I like puppies." (But I wasn't convinced for a second. Those puppies looked terrified and/or drugged out of their minds.)

I'm feeling you on the ad thing. I swear the days leading up we were getting 5 promo calls a day. Election day was like every five minutes. And it was entirely useless because the liberal media won every election. Curses!
