Don't worry.  I probably will never get to that point.  Talk about getting outgunned.  Obama must have more money than God.  I watch a lot of television.  The last two nights I've watched the local network affiliate news at 6 and 10.  Two different Obama commercials during the 6:00 news.  Two more during the 10 newscast.  We watched a rerun of Two and a Half Men on an independent Houston station 10:30 - 11.  Three more Obama ads and two of them were the full minute long ads.  Was watching the Today show this morning and you guessed it - first commercial break - a new one minute Obama ad that I haven't seen yet.  Total Hillary ads during the same periods - zero.

I'm a political junkie and notice the political ads during election cycles.  I've never in my life seen anything like this kind of saturation by a single political candidate.  Crap, no wonder this guy surges at the last minute in Virginia, wisconsin, and as the election nears here in Texas.  LOL.  This must be what it used to be like during election time during the Hussein reign in Iraq.  Haha.  Uh, it's like a nonstop propaganda campaign.   I've heard it said that Hillary is being outspent 3 or 4 to 1.  I'm here to tell you that's not even close.  Try 10 to 1 or more.

Ha.  That's another reason I've enjoyed living in Texas.  During presidential GE campaigns over the last 3 or 4 elections we haven't had to endure any presidential ads from either side.  Must be brytal if you live in Ohio or say Wisconsin.

I don't blame you.  I fear with Obama's millions, he'll probably run ads in Texas just to get his total popular vote total up.

The Obama saturation of the airways continues.  Barack Obama all day every day.  Radio waves are constant Obama.  Television?  Obama nonstop.  I live in the Houston market.  Haven't heard a Hillary commercial on television or radio in a week.  Obama commercials - probably 50 or so - 6 television ads on prime time last night alone just while I was watching 6 to 10.  Another 5 that I counted on the local news and the independent station I watched 10:30 to 11.  That's two nights in a row.

I keep hearing how impressive it is that Obama's numbers go up dramatically when he actually starts campaigning in a state before a primary.  Hell, I've seen first hand here in Texas exactly why.  Total ad blitz by Obama beyond anything I've ever seen.  Hillary's response to her do or die primary here in the state?  Total and complete silence on the airwaves. 

The woman is completely and totally out of money I don't care how much she claims to have raised.  You don't go silent on the airwaves when you are in a do or die election unless you are flat out broke.  She is and she's finished.

Given the polls today, I'm starting to believe maybe the airways were oversatuated.  Not that Obama may not win Texas, I have no idea.  Just doesn't seem to be adding anything at this point to Obama momentum.  That appears to be stalled.

When you see the same thing every hour on the hour I'm sure you get oblivious to it.  Particularly after 6 weeks of it.  I mean, who are these ads reaching that they haven't already reached?  If you watched a lick of television you couldn't help but have seen each ad a zillion times.

black messiah fatique in Texas + help from Rush with cross over Republicans = late Hillary surge that rolled over the Obama $$ machine.
