Campaign quiz from a swing state voter

"Obama, McCain, Obama, McCain, McCain, McCain, Obama, Obama, McCain, Obama."

Question: Who said this and why?

a). Me keeping track of which commercial belongs to who during one commercial break.

b). Me reading campaign signs stuck in lawns while I'm driving down the street in my Arlington neighborhood.

c). Me mumbling, gone insane after having to listen to these names repeated over and over for the last two years.

d). Me trying to decide who to vote for in SIX DAYS.


Answer:

a). Correct... but I exaggerated a bit. While there are not usually 10 campaign commercials during one commercial break, they do make up a large part of it. And Obama is definitely winning on that front. He should be praising Allah ;) for all of those campaign funds.

b). Correct, again. First thing's first: Almost two years ago, I moved from the reddest state in the country to yet another historically conservative state. So I was surprised to find out that we are now a swing state, meaning Virginia is up for grabs! Nowhere is this more apparent than in my neighborhood in Northern Virginia. On my street, where the majority of lawns have campaign signs proudly planted in the grass, the race is a dead heat. And it's crazy to see how many times these candidates and their running mates have visited our area. As a lifelong Cache Valley, Utahan, I am used to seeing campaign signs for only one candidate. And don't ever expect even that candidate to visit Utah before an election. That would be a waste of time. For once in my life, my vote for a presidential contender will matter.

c). You are right again (Oh you are good)! I cannot wait for this longest election ever to be over.

d). Cha right! I know who I'm voting for. Do you?Campaign signs along the street on which I live. I love how they are planted right next to each other, on the very corner of each home's property line. I would love to see how these neighbors get along.
