Will our side be able to do some carpet bomb ads?

I'm here on the Left Coast and I've donated as much money as I was able to Obama for America. I'm hoping they've got enough money to hit the swing states with as many ads as possible in the final weeks. What are you swing staters hearing and seeing?

People are turning off the commercials.

Besides if we get them to vote early then the ads are all a waste of money.

Being in California, I have no idea how these ads are going to work. Nothing would make me happier if Romney's ad blitzkrieg goes down in flames.

I'm in Ohio and I am getting carpet bombed with Romney, Mandel and "Democrats changing their vote" ads no matter what page I am on.

Does anybody know if I refresh the page a few times it costs them more money? I'll gladly start doing that .
