It is precisely the opposite here in CA. You would not even know there is a big election today. There has been virtually no campaigning among the politicians, not even Gov. Jerry Brown who has millions of dollars in the bank. I live in the heavily populated L.A. area. I am on the freeways every day. You see no yard signs. No bumper stickers, no campaign offices, few signs on utility poles and fences, no phone banks, no precinct walkers no nothing, no sign of ground game at all, and, get this, hardly and political mail or slate mailers at all which I usually get a ton of considering that I am a high propensity voter. I’m telling you it’s dead here. Completely dead. Outside of heavy advertising on the radio for a few hotly contested ballot propositions, you would not know that there is an election going on today. Since this is deep blue CA, perhaps that is a good thing.
Wow, in Kansas we have been bombarded with tv and radio ads...and more mailers than I’ve ever seen. Its obvious that national money found its way into our races...which is peculiar since Orman is and independent without a national committee....
