Try to keep it civil though. The rules still apply here.

  • And We're Off

    Saw my first political ad for the 2022 campaign season this evening. I'm sorry to see it start so early. Such is our modern political life.

    I predict by mid-March CIVICs will be filling up with OMB threads again as certain posters who've been pretty quiet since November reappear.

    For the record, I saw an ad for Lee Zeldin, Republican, running for NY Governor. It was an attack ad on Governor Hochul trying to tie her to the bad parts of the Cuomo administration. I guess if I was running for governor in NY as a Republican, I'd do the same. The closer Hochul can be tied to Cumom in independent's minds, the better my chances.

    Let the good times begin.

    I'm anticipating LiconaFan. I wonder what his new handle will be.

      Only now? Here we've been getting political ads since at least December regarding our upcoming Senator race (technically, a lot were over the primary). They might've been present even before that, can't remember for sure, but I know it's been at least since December.

        Here in PA, ads have been running for Pat Toomey's seat since late last year -- first Sands, then Oz, then McCormick. In the past few days, Bartos has joined the mix.

          We had several start up a couple months ago. Yesterday there was a David Purdue for governor commercial and an anti-Perdue commercial (he's the recently defeated Senator who Trump is pushing because he's mad at the current governor Brian Kemp and will very possibly put Stacey Abrams in the governor's mansion as conservatives split their vote)

            I guess my state is behind the curve. Probably because of a lack of competitive races.

              Until Trump pushed Purdue into the race, the governorship was not seen as competitive. Now it is regarded as a toss-up.

                Yeah, I've seen them on the Philadelphia television stations for several weeks now. And the Primary is what, this coming May?
