If you think Ann actually said that, I have some swamp land you might be interested in buying.

I was a bit young for that election, so I had to look that one up. Evidently, Ross Perot's "You people" gaffe was when he spoke to the NAACP in 1992. Brilliant.

Serious question: is Missouri getting inundated with these attack ads like Iowa is?

Romney/Obama attack ads you probably haven't seen
Those advertisements aren't seen in vast areas of the country, including huge population centers such as California and New York whose leanings in the presidential race don't appear in doubt. Instead, they air principally in a handful of swing states that the Obama and Romney campaigns are battling over, including Ohio, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Virginia.

Just this week, the competing Republican and Democratic political armies have spent some $21 million in only 10 states, according to figures compiled by the media firm SMG Delta. Those armies have different units; aside from the Obama and Romney campaigns, there are so-called "super-PACs" backing the president (Priorities USA) and his Republican rival (Restore Our Future, Crossroads GPS).
I've seen them so many times I figured everyone had by now, but I guess not.

Make it stop.
