PART ONE
everybody’s doing it!!! have you?
by mid-october of this year, registered democrats had increased by 9.7%. the number of registered republicans increased by 2.7%.
by the time the early polls closed on friday, 38% of registered voters had cast their ballot. thats 2.3 million people! woot woot!
after today, the number of registered voters who actually voted is expected to rise above 1968 levels. people are hoping for a 70% turnout rate, which would be approximately 30% higher than the national average, a great accomplishment for the state of north carolina.
you can contribute to this historic election by voting. i highly recommend it.
PART TWO
in sum, $34.26 million has been spent on television advertising in north carolina alone.
- elizabeth + the nrsc = $12.6 million
- kay + the dscc = $16.7 million
- elizabeth alone = $6.8 million
- kay alone = $5.7 million
nationally: (tv ads for every state senate race)
- nrsc= $33 million
- dscc= $57.8 million
these are big bucks, people. that’s what makes it so important to analyze these television ads with impartiality, and then become biased later.
unless your me, who remains impartial throughout, at least in the blogosphere
