So, I was working when Barack's extended commercial was on, but I'm going to watch it now, and liveblog it...kind of. It's more like a post-live-liveblog. Anyway, you would do well to go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtREqAmLsoA and watch along while you're reading. Then it might make more sense. Anyway, here we go.

:10-this starts with weird farm scenes. I'm kind of over it already
:50-he's wearing a red tie. I hate when he wears red.
1:20-I like this music. It's like "I'm discovering something awesome in this movie"
1:50-I just feel like it needs to be said that I love this idea. Buying tv time=yes please.
2:00-Meet Rebecca Johnson. Actress paid with donation money. lol.
4:00-He wears red ties a lot. This one has stripes. Oooooo.
4:25-Everyone please note-he IS wearing a flag pin.
5:10-And we're outlining plans. Good. I didn't know he was going to give a tax credit to businesses who hire employees in the U.S. I like it.
6:44-haha...the govenor of Ohio is on here. Ooo and Kansas...is that state still in play?
7:45-Now the music is kind of blues-y. Oh, that's because the guy is playing the geetar. I understand.
8:37-I hope I never get rhumetiod arthritis...makes your hands all gross. Really I think any kind of arthritis does that. Silly chronic illnesses.
9:45-I like how he's in an office for this dealyo. That's supposed to make him look presidential. In case he hasn't looked presidential before...psh whatever.
10:40-More plans. I like plans. Except sometimes I like not having plans.....I mean, the government should probably always have a plan, I just meant me personally....I'm bored with explaining this.
12:08-to find out what the money spent on the war in Iraq could be doing, go to www.costofwar.com unless you don't like being depressed
13:10-I wonder how you get in these commercials. Like do they put ads out for them? Or do you just show up to a rally and then they film you?
14:00-That woman is kind of annoying. I mean, she's clearly a kick ass person, but...at a distance.
15:00-"You feel like you can't breathe even though you need to breathe"...wtf?! l.o.l.
16:00-And let's bring it down...to biography time, the condensed verision, because we're all to lazy to read his books
17:19-Please elect this man, so you and I and everyone else can go to college for like free.
19:20-I bet health insurance companies, if they had a collective vote, would not vote for Obama, cause he's going to screw them. Woot.
21:21-They said Dodd...but what about him? I think Dodd is my favorite senator. Well, I mean besides Obama...maybe...I dont' know, it's close.
24:30-Foreign plans whatnot. Hey! He's talking about Iowa! He says Taliban like tal-eeeee-bon. I don't know what's correct, just an observation.
26:11-I love Bill Richardson. He was my second choice at caucus.

Well, I thought it was going to be half an hour, but turns out it was 27 minutes and 10 seconds. Someone got screwed there I think, but I don't know who.

If there is anyone left who's going to vote but hasn't decided yet, there are probably better things to look at than this. I mean, it was cool to watch and I understand its purpose, but I almost think it would have been better last week. Maybe that's just me. I already voted, and I hope if you're reading this you will vote, because it's goddamn important.

Programming note-I will be live blogging election night. I'm going to update every hour(ish) and I don't plan on sleeping until they call a winner or say they can't because of recounts. It is probably going to be the most important night of our lives kittens, so you would do well to watch some coverage, or just read my blog. Whatevs.
