    Welcome to Primary season.

    They will go away after the primaries. Then return in September thru November 3rd.

    For TV stations, being in a contested state is a way to make bank. Although the stations must sell the time to political ads at the lowest possible rate, they still make money on the sheer volume. For some stations, this cash infusion every two years (congressional and presidential election years) keeps them in business.

    It's almost a welcome relief from the incessant barrage of ads for personal injury lawyers...almost.

    I don't think anything is as bad as the plethora of pharmaceutical ads. What are they advertising for, assisted suicide?

    The side effects are worse than what they are treating.

    The only thing worse than assisted suicide is unassisted suicide. :moon:

    More that half of those political adds are for Bloomberg, too. Talk about buying his way into the race.

    He basically admitted to buying the Dem house majority in the 2018 midterms last night. He also bought the VA Dem state congress majority. He's a new rival to Soros in buying elections.

    Just saw an ad definitely designed to do damage control on his history with women. Every testimonial was from a woman that's worked for him in his time as NYC mayor and how
    Mike's so Pro-Woman.

    Get-er-Done Mikey!!!!

    What a crock of shit.

    Reagan set the bar impossibly high at 49 states won. Trump's total will be impressive this round, but likely stops at 40ish.
    I hope he wins the popular to squelch that talking point.

    Can't be worse than those low fat/fat free chips made with Olestra they were advertising a while ago. Some of the side effects of Olestra include: gastrointestinal discomforts, abdominal cramps, fecal urgency, diarrhea, and loose bowels (http://www.cspinet.org/olestra/11cons.html). The Frito-Lay company has recorded that olestra causes “anal oil leakage” (http://www.cspinet.org/new/flaynal.html). They also say that consumers who eat more olestra products are subject to more severe cases of diarrhea, cramps, loose stools, nausea, and underwear spotting among other discomforts.
