3. I don't know how many, but...

McCain's ad seems to be airing more than Obama's.

Last night McCain's ultra-negative ad aired right after the 4-man swim team won the gold. Talk about a downer!

9. None - Tivo + fast forward

and zip through all the commercials is what I do. Just delay viewing about an hour or so and it works like a charm.

10. I've seen about 10 McCain ads and 1 Obama ad, here in Western Pa.

I do not have cable/satellite, only network broadcasting NBC.

I have only seen McCain ads on the other network channels.
