zarak, congrats on living in a state that the candidates care about.
How about all the TV ads? Are they on all the time or what? I saw a 527 ad (on the news - nobody's wasting any money out here in California) for Bush that was pretty strong, IMO. The one with the little girl who lost her mom on 9/11 - seen that one?

2x6, what do you make of the election in Afghanistan? Different culture? Different circumstances - ie, not surrounded by Islamic states? It looks to me like that country is improving in leaps and bounds from the Taliban days.
