I LOVE this ad campaign...

A very deep curtsy to Ohio 2nd Blog for this link.

Visit The Ad Council and their ad campaign to encourage people to pay attention to candidates:

The Advertising Council launched the “Pay Attention & Vote” campaign in July 2006 in conjunction with the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) to encourage young adults to vote in the upcoming midterm elections.

Featuring multi-media public service advertisements (PSAs) and a new Web site, http://payattention.org the Vote campaign is designed to educate young adults about the ease and importance of voting in the 2006 midterm elections. This target audience, 18 to 24 years old, is the largest group of non-voters in America, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.


My personal favorite? Leaning towards:

Tacky Ceramic Rooster Prepared For Cock Fight

WASHINGTON - Tacky Ceramic Rooster, a candidate in this year’s midterm elections, says he’s ready to fight for a spot in Washington. “We’re prepared. We know what we have to do and how we have to do it. The only problem we have is people with a general dislike for poultry-themed cookie jars. We’ll never win those votes. And those people are crazy anyway,” said Phil Miller, spokesman for the Tacky Ceramic Rooster Campaign.

Fantastic and deja vu!!!
Just minutes ago, I was researching web sites for demographics on voter apathy, voter turnout, and citizen participation for my blog.
After much reading, I changed the thrust for my blog entry today, did the deed, and then came over here to take a look.
Thanks for the info.

p.s. The strangest thing!! And ya know, it isn't the first time something like this has happened. doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. You have just entered the Twilight Zone!! duh-duh-duh-dum!!

er, ah, maybe you're speaking of others who have great minds.
There are indeed a lot of great minds that are weighing in on both your blogs.

Synchronicity occurs more often than one imagines.

LD says "Synchronicity occurs more often than one imagines."
Carl Jung, the Kabbalah, and James Redfield would concur.

Lisa,
Love the link!

Care to put real names to any of the "candidates?"

Spoiled Yappy Dog is begging for a real name...
