Is it possible DVR and TIVO are impacting the election?
I fast forward through almost all commercials and campaign ads. How widespread are these
technologies? Are they having an impact blunting the power of the TV ads?

1. Well, What I do know is that "the race tightening" is something television producers smile upon
because it produces larger ad revenue.

4. With the GOP's deep pockets, they can afford to digitally alter old reruns.
Like when Fonzie's new buddy John Boehner helps out the Cunninghams, who've had to shut down their hardware store due to the recession caused by Obama's socialist policies. Meanwhile Ralph Mouth and Christene O'Donnell are at Al's trying to convince all the young women in poodle-dog skirts to "Choose Life".
