Fw: Re: My Take On Political Ads

["Laurence Glavin" <lglavin@lycosmail.com>]

Remember, I wrote about "voting age" persons, and according to the Boston papers,
the Governor's race differential is carbon-paper thin (remember carbon paper?).
If the NH politicos can pay Boston TV and radio rates, then Romney at least
could cough up enough to make the difference.  It'll be interesting to see if
the Berkshire County results mirror the state as whole...if so, and the race
is as tight as a c*nd*m, the loser may repent at leisure for not spending where
it could have done more good.  BTW, at another site, I queried about
whether thge debates were on Springfield broadcast TV, and apparently most
of the time they weren't. Massachusetts politics is too Eastern-oriented,
and Western Mass. media may lose out (although most are owned by the same
conglomerates as the ones east of Woostah.
