decide, already

statistics are fun:

7% of north carolina voters are undecided.

of the decidedes, 20% are a little unsure that they actually are decided.

based on the analysis of the public policy polling group, the results from the absolutely positively decided voters give kay hagan the lead with 40%, elizabeth dole trailing with 33%, and christopher cole keeping up appearances with a 2%.

with propaganda and mind control, the results of this election could swing any which way. a quarter of the electorate is sway-able. these voters are found predominately in the under-30 set, small towns, and in the african-american community.

this leads us to a question: where are the north carolinans getting the information they need to decide on a candidate?

mostly, they read it off the wall, written in mud.

freedom’s watch recently got involved in the fight for most powerful tv ad with this rant against kay hagan:

this is a rather tired argument in north carolina and, when taken with the incessant phone calls that north carolinans receive every week from this group, bound to be dismissed as annoying.

in contrast, moveon.org has sent out an ad against elizabeth dole, and although it has already premiered on my blog via a link, here is the full kahuna:

so… what the voters have taken away from the barrage of negative tv ads is that hagan= a lying big spender and dole= an absent and ineffective old lady. are you ready to vote now?

if your still a little unsure/dissatisfied/aggravated/ect., you’re not alone: certain studies have shown that negative tv ads decrease turnout and lead to increased rates of cynicism. yeah, that makes sense.

BUT YOU STILL SHOULD VOTE—-THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE MOST IMPORTANT SENATE RACE THIS CYCLE!
