Less than 30 minutes after the SC decision on Obamacare was official, the television ads started. For those who really hate politics, living in a swing state must be pretty much pure hell, but for people like me who love politics, it is just loads of fun. I get to see ALL the crazy from both sides!
Before I moved to Pa I lived in Oklahoma. As a very far left liberal, I may as well have just stayed home and had a pint of Hagen Dazs on election day, and I am sure that Republicans living in California and New York pretty much feel the same way. Now, however, since Pa is a swing state, I get a lot more out of the election season than I did when I lived in Oklahoma.
The fact that the results from certain states are pretty much foregone conclusions can lead to a lot of apathy towards our elections, I think. It is very hard to get people excited about the political process when so much of it is foregone.
