Remember – this is your reminder to plan on voting next week.  Make sure you get out and vote!

Some other things to remember:

• If a political ad is attacking a _person_ rather than an _issue_, think twice before believing it.
• All negative ads should be investigated personally before believing them.  At least go online and look for both sides.  Like that one about the “phone sex charged to taxpayers” – if you look at the _rest_ of the facts, it’s clear that the ad is an out and out lie and incredibly misleading.
• While I’m talking about issues and whatnot, keep something in mind when listening to the talking heads: listen for what people say about the issue themselves vs what they say about other people.  If the person is attacking someone else (ie, they’re stupid, they’re morons, they don’t know what they’re talking about, etc) and not talking about what they are for (ie, I believe we should “x”, or the reason we don’t want to “x” is …), don’t put much stock in what they’re saying.
