This is good. I appreciate a halt to the mudslinging during this time. Wonder if all the special interest groups will do the same?

And I will say this,if I see a Bain add I will flip my shit. Hear that dem PAC? I know there are repub PAC ones that are terrible, but all those batman comparisons better go. For good.

But will Rush drop his Bain/Bane conspiracy theories?

It's his fault this conspiracy even happened. Seriously, the batman comic has been out forever. Bain first showed up in...[off to Google]

Wow, 1993. I thought it would be the 80s at the earliest...

Hmmmmm, I just watched two BO ads and I just turned on the tv. No Romney ads yet

[heyjude]

BO's Bain ad has been running on CNN all day...

My thoughts exactly.

Although, this doesn't affect me as I don't really watch ads in general. Nor have I actually seen any national political ads. I don't think Hawaii is really up for grabs.

All I've heard on the national level is people whining about some governor's conference in Maui.

not the one with batman in it I hope?

[GailGoldie]

the whole bane thing is just so silly. Not to mention- Batman is a conservative.

i'm glad they pulled ads for today.

[Velvetshady]

Whatever "they" did to pull the adds, didn't work. Saw several on CNN in the early afternoon and there were 2 Romney ads per commercial during the local 5pm news.

[emmybean]

NPR Stated they were only taken off the air in Colorado.

Which somehow makes the whole idea even more ridiculous.

[pixy0stix]

Huh, they weren't though. I just heard an Obama ad. I wonder if it was just the local stations?
