Two billion dollars.

That's what the political parties, the PACs, and everyone else will spend to get you to the polls, pull the right levers, mark the right boxes, punch the right keys, and, o yes, punch out the right hanging chads.

That's a lot of money spent on the 150 million (or so) registered voters in the US. This from NPR:

An estimated $2 billion has been spent on television campaign ads this year. That's, by far, the most ever spent in one election year, including presidential campaigns.


Did it work on you? we'd like to hear.
