I just saw an ad in my Hotmail account that went something like, "We need Lisa Murkowski in the U.S. Senate. (Click here for a special message from Rudy Giulani.)" Or something to that effect.
I know that this is probably tailored advertising (I'm pretty sure the Hotmail program knows I'm from Alaska), but seriously, isn't this going a bit far? My personal dislike of the Murkowski dynasty aside, isn't it enough that I can't even listen to the radio this time of year without running into one of their attack-dog ads? (Ad: "*ominous music* A vote for Tony Knowles is a vote for people like Hillary Clinton to be in charge of the country!" Me: "Sounds good to me. What's the bad news?") Now I can't even check my email without seeing the name "Murkowski"?
...okay, I'm done.
