The only thing that gives me hope is Romney said Ryan's plan was not his plan, and he's running for President, not Ryan.
I don't watch much network TV so haven't seen a lot of the campaign ads, but having spent a week on Cape Cod I was amazed at the number of ads. That area would of course have a ton of ads for the Warren/Brown race, and some for New Hampshire and Rhode Island races.
What shocked me is the deluge of Super-PAC ads (almost all negative) on all the federal, and even some of the state races. No shit, they'd break for a commercial and you'd see four or five political ads for every potato chip or Pepsi ad.
I can see the broadcast industry shills and lobbyists trying to shorten the election cycle from 4 to 2 years with that kind of revenue stream.
