bah. Different news groups support different candidates and their stuff gets discounts. Fox loves the demos.
Average cost of an ad can go from $100k to $600k for a major show like American Idol and even more for the superbowl or major Olympic events. If you think the pres. candidates don't get most of that time donated by the major networks either you're crazy or I'm crazy and considering you're from Berkeley and I'm from Santa Cruz I'd say there's a good chance of either.

I know this will get moved but I'd rather talk to my fellow bay area folks.
I just read that the Obama campaign raised $52,000,000 in JUNE ALONE.
WTF? Why do you need that much money for tv spots and pieces of paper... oh yeah and private planes all over the country. Top hotels. New suits. I forget it costs 50 million dollars a month to become president. This is bull****.
Where are these people donating millions of dollars at when our education system needs money? Or disaster victims need their houses rebuilt or their medical bills paid. Where are these huge donations to public causes that people take for granted? Oh yeah I forgot... rich people don't give a ****.
I tell you what... you want to get some votes... take that $52 million dollars and divide it between the 50 states and tell them to put it in the education system. I mean if you care about the future and all. Mr. big dreamer.
Sorry many folks are gonna be pissed about this and I'm sure it'll be moved to politics in minutes but screw it. We're hosed. We got the war monger big money next bush republican who at least is a realist and the golden boy first black man I have a dreamer who's gonna be the next JFK. What a choice. A guy that'll do what he says but it might do us no good and a guy that's blowing smoke up our *** and won't do anything he says. Yeah.
I hate politics. We're so damn backwards right now.
