Living in a battleground state means that we get a _ton_ of commercials. Despite the fact that the U.P. is fairly rural, every vote apparently counts.

Tonight, there was an ad from George Bush promoting his health care plan and his Agenda for America. There was a lot of interesting proposals there ranging from savings accounts and allowing small businesses to group together.

What was notably missing was anything about lowering the cost of prescription drugs. There was nothing at all, compared to the one or two things that might -- might -- reduce the price of health care.

To be honest, I don't know what Kerry's plan entails, but this seems to be a critical oversight.

BTW, I'm really doing my best to avoid commenting on this upcoming election. Part of it is that, professionally, it shouldn't matter which candidate I support. The other reason is that there's probably millions of blogs out there that dispense political blather like it was liquid gold.

As the election nears, I'm probably going to delve more into the political realm. In the end, I'll try to keep it to a dull roar.
