It always feels good to get out and vote on a sunny November afternoon, though the local town ballot had very few contested elections - darn shame - hate to see imcumbents so entrenched that they don't even have to put on a campaign. The good news is that the TV ads will be gone for a short while until the 2012 cycle hits. Not that I saw a lot, but I usually watch the AM news before starting my day, and all that was on was those darn ads.
What caught my attention this morning regarding the TV ads was the lack of music. In my mind, pairing an effective ad with good music is a double whammy - the connection between the song/tune and the canidate is heightend in the brain. Good music would have made those crappy commericals a lot better. A good tune, and there are 1000's in the public domain would have made some of those ads a lot more interesting and maybe effective. Who knows. But is sure feels good to vote!!
