there have actually been four since the mid 1800s

the one that i am familiar with involves tent revivals, traveling preachers and fire and brimstone radio broadcasts

I don't really care one way or the other about the gubernatorial race in California, but holy shit, Meg Whitman is one ugly fucking dude.

at least she's got a plan, which is much better than going to college forever and asking your friends on facebook what you should do with your life every other week.

In high school I worked at a Taco Bell, and after 3 mos. they were ready to put me into managerial training. If that girl starts at 16, she'll be a district manager by 21.

Comediennnnnnnnee!

gawd, you need a hug. C'mere, you!

I officially hate this race. and, to a lesser extent, the Boxer/Fiorina race.

On the other hand, I'm psyched for the Sestak/Toomey race, even though the numbers are against me.

Considering what Whitman is spending, I'm guessing there's a commercial on roughly...*doing the math* every commercial on every channel every time there's a set of commercials.

There are just as many Jerry Brown commercials on tv now. The difference is Meg Whitman has been running ads for what seems like at least 3 or 4 months now.

she was running them like 6 months before the primary

So how are the spots?

Mostly typical ads - both sides calling each other liars. Whitman and Fiorina calling Brown and Boxer tax, spend and regulate libs that will destroy jobs. Brown and Boxer saying Whitman and Fiorina laid off tons of employees while CEO and sent jobs overseas while raising their own pay. I've tuned most of them out. The one ad that I thought was pretty good was a Whitman one where she ran segments of the presidential debates where Clinton called Brown a liar and said he was trying to take credit for tax cuts that occurred while he was in office over his opposition. I haven't seen much though that I thought would really persuade someone undecided.

When did The Hold Steady start commanding $30/ticket?

definitely ranks as one of the worst thought out tattoos.

Bloor - Brown's ads are made by Joe Trippi and Fiorina's are made by Fred Davis if that gives you any idea of what they would be like.
