I Just Saw My First TV Ad in California

As Feb. 5th approaches, just a note: I saw my first television ad for a presidential primary candidate yesterday and it was. . .for Barack Obama.

A couple of months ago, I saw my first bumper sticker for a presidential primary candidate, and it was. . .for Barack Obama. I've seen several more since.

Friday, I saw my first window sign and it was. . .for Barack Obama.

I haven't seen a Clinton anything, nor a Republican anything. Of course, I live in the SF Bay Area, which is Liberal Central Headquarters.

But, I think Obama will win California. Just judging by the signage and advertising.

Kalifornia is ripe for the Obama change message. Much of Ron Pual’s support comes from Kalifornia also. So when he is out of the race the changers will want someone to follow. Hillary is not a slam dunk in the State.

Heard a RP ad on Limbaugh’s show. RP talks about how strong on defense he is.
Yes, I laughed.

I see Rudy ads here in Eastern PA , but I guess they are probably for NJ.

We’re being overrun by Huckster ads here in Michigan. Damned annoying it is too.

I live in Florida, and have been seeing lots of Rudy commercials. They are pretty good, focused on how he turned NYC around. As far as signs go, I've seen quite a few Ron Pauls (the place that had the biggest one caught fire and burned to the ground, I wonder if that is an omen somehow.)

There is also a nice Fred Thompson out on the main road near my house.

Of course, thinking of Hillary, there's the one I'd LIKE to put up....

Clinton should win California easily. Latinos are a large proportion of the Democratic primary electorate and they are polling heavily in her favor. If she can't win in California she is toast.

"...Just judging by the signage and advertising..."

Ron Paul would have won New Hampshire.
