Too many Rethug ads on TV

My hubby just commented on this. It seems as though all the TV ads we see lately are for Rethugs. Hardly any for Dems at all with the exception of a few for Sherrod Brown. We're getting so tired of being hammered with their Rethug lies! Why so few ads for Dems?

They have nothing good to say about their own candidate. I hope the voters notice this.

Either bizarre or filled with really bad acting coupled with horrible scripts

9. The new Florida ad attacking Bill Nelson is particularly laughable

I'm sure that's among the ones you are referring to. Three women sitting around a small table while mocking Nelson's age along with asking, "What has he ever done?"

In contrast, Nelson's closing spot might be his best one

Obama were in office. All the candidates on both sides in WV are blaming each other for opioids.

5. The races have to be competitive for the Dems to put resources (money) into them.

Quite a few Cordray ads here in Hamilton County as well as for Kathleen Clyde and Diffenbach, and for CD 01 Dem. candidate.
Apparently, most of the Ohio Congressional races are not considered competitive enough.

Keep remote handy; use quickly when Republican ads begin.

11. Mostly Dem ads in my area

Luckily in my area, get to see PA, Ohio and WVa. The PA GOP candidates have little money so there's only the occassional Wagner or Barletta ad. Rothfus had a little more money and ran more ads, but the RNC/RNCC cut off his funding. Surprisingly, his last ad has been very positive in the wake of the synagogue shooting.

When I've seen programming related to WVa, I've seen a lot of ads. Anti-Morrissey ads seem to outnumber the anti-Manchin ones. The ads against Morrissey are pretty powerful with family members speaking directly to the camera with stories about their healthcare, medical and opiod problems.

Have seen a couple of the cartoonish GOP spots. At first, I thought they were satire or parody. I don't know how anyone could take them seriously.
