Mark Kirk's ads on WCPT
Does anyone else find it disgusting to hear ads for Mark Kirk on WCPT with no disclaimer that he is the repuke running in the 10th congressional district. I have seen Dan Seals' ads on TV but can't recall them on the radio. I wish there was a mandate that ads would say to which party a candidate belonged.

1. thugs are definitely hiding it.
i was out in red territory, and i tell, it is the land of the teeeeeeenie tiiiiiiiny elephant. most of the signs aren't even red, white, and blue this year.
i, personally, can't wait for wcpt to get to where they can get a better class of advertisers all around. the ad about the spackle in your intestines makes me crazy.

2. I wonder if those adds were bought before WCPT was on the FM
. While it was still rock music? This kind of makes sense. I don't see too many WCPT listeners buying Mark Kirks bull.

3. Why are they disgusting? They are helping give money to WCPT!
Which, as you may recall, was the bane of the Air America debacle in Chicago in 2004. They went belly up, you know, so we need all the money we can get! Also, I give credit to the listeners of CPT. I think they are very savvy and wouldn't just blindly vote for someone they heard on the radio without knowing who the hell he is!
