How come Kerry seems to get instant ads going...they capitalize on the current hot topic and are aired in battleground states or wherever they'd do the most damage? Maybe we do it, too, but other than the Swiftboat Vet ads, here in MA, the only ads I've seen lately can't be called ads. Shilling is more like it. I turned on early am CBS news to get the weather, never did get that, but watched ten or fifteen straight minutes of Bush bashing. They broke for commercial and went right back at it.

Don't know how it is for anyone else, but here in the Cincy market (and Dayton), in Ohio, the swingingest of the swing states, we have gotten the Kerry Health Plan Chart ad-- and nothing else-- for two weeks. We also have a great Swift Vet ad. Daily punding form the DNC, the 527s, and the unions, but nothing from the RNC.
