West Virginia was a battleground state last time around. We aren't as much this time around - although there has been a tightening in the polls, so the ads are up and playing. We've mostly gotten bleed-over from the PA market (we get the Pittsburgh stations). No mailers or anything for us. We actually early voted last Friday.
The last time around the robocalls were really annoying. I would come home and there would be 3-4 messages a day (it seemed like) on the machine. At one point our incumbent senator's operation screwed up and calls went out at two in the morning. THAT was unpleasant.
I am a political junkie, so I regularly troll different sites. The one I've enjoyed most is http://fivethirtyeight.com. The guy who does it was a wizard at baseball stats. He took his statistical knowledge and applied it to polling. The result is a fascinating site (a word of warning, it is a left-leaning site). I'll be genuinely curious to see at the end of the election if he was right on or not.
Hope everyone votes!
