FIVE DAYS OF HELL!

October 30, 2003

Maybe a vacation away from America is the key. Well, it saves me 3 of the 5 days as I have to come back Saturday evening; however, for those with access to a TV, radio, or newspaper, it’s going to be five days of nothing but hell-raising: political style.

The national committee’s are sending millions of dollars into states like Missouri, New Jersey, Florida, and Minnesota. Al Gore is even taking money left over from his “Count The Vote” (as often as you can) funds to send to four states he deems helpful to his 2004 presidential bid.

Then there are the candidates themselves who are pumping millions into getting themselves elected. Lautenberg who just jumped in to the NJ race immediately transferred over a million of his own money but that’s feeble compared to Sanchez of Texas who has been writing checks for his bid to be governor for two years now. The most recent totals show him right at $60 million of his own funds being transferred to his political war chest.

Ads everywhere. The day before I left for Venezuela, I counted 14 commericals in a 16 minute Channel 13 late night slot. Every now and then they have to break for a program. There’s only five more days left. Maybe the Internet is the best way to get your news. It’s also the the way that you can choose what it is you want to read from some 10,000 news sources. That’s it from the Andes mountains.
