I've seen mostly ads for GA elections. And a few Charlie Crist ads, his new one claims that Davis will increase our taxes by ONE BILLION DOLLARS! and some other stuff, I usually turn it off before they actually get to Crist's pictue. That man needs to step AWAY from the tanning beds.
Oh, look at the pretties!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, I know. I want to vote for the other guy because (1) I don't know what the comptroller does, therefore it must make no difference to my life so (2) it would screw up Elliott Spitzer's plans just to replace Hevesi with his own crony.
He's the state's accountant! What could be more vital?? OK, if you're not in the state pension system, I don't know that it does make any difference in your life, but Hevesi HAS A DOCTORATE.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I don't know what the comptroller does
The comptroller comptrolls the, um....
The comptroller gives free tickets to trolls.
Actually, the comptroller is like the chief accountant, right?
eta: x-posty comptroller goodness....

I've only gotten one automated call that I know of, from Elijah Cummings. I'm not sure who he was campaigning for since he's running unopposed and I deleted the message.
Just watch, I'll have a kazillion when I get home.
I'm trying to sort out all the bond and constitutional dooverdingies.

I like that NYC does its business on the odd years, so there's always something, but it's almost never overwhelming.

If you figure it out, let me know.

I've had several from Bill.
Aw, man, I only got one from Rob Black (running for Supervisor -- I'm just going to go with other people's advice on this one, because how the hell should I know?) and one from some scratchy-voiced lady who claimed to be a senator.
So, I've been looking over all my voting info, and it looks like almost all our options have to do with taxing and spending, is that right? Quite a lot of spending, too. I suppose that's what one does, but -- WOW. I've never been asked to vote directly on billions of dollars before.
I should be at work now. Leaving!

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've only had one robocall this election season. And that was sports-related, not election-related. Far, far too many mailings.
Both WI (where I grew up) and VA (where I live now) have marriage amendments on the ballot. I'm not optimistic.

Is that just a usual Magic 8 Ball, or does it have answers taylored to tech stuff?
It's a give-away from CDW, it's red and has tech-specific answers, like "Reboot" or "It works on my machine" and "What do you expect, it's a beta?"
