Last night during the World Series, Ohio State Senator Joy Padgett ran one of the most heinous political ads I have ever seen.

She depicted her opponent, former journalist Terry Anderson (you know, the one Hezbollah kept chained up in Lebanon for 7 years?) as a "member of the Liberal media" and soft on Terrorism. He is apparently soft on terrorism because he had the balls to go back to Beirut with a camera crew and interview the people who kept him chained to a wall. She's using photos of that meeting against him.

This is disgusting. I was ready to throw things. And the media here in Ohio are not touching this. Call Joy Padgett. Ask her why she hates America and our free press. Links below the fold. Read More

My betrothed and I were selected to be an Arbitron household this week. We're both mid-20s professionals in Columbus, OH. We picked up XM 2 weeks ago to listen to Air America. We've been diligent in filling out our diaries - basically 8 hours a day of Air America, either through XM or streaming from the internet.

I know very little about the world of radio/media ratings. We'd like to think we're representative of our age-group around here(I know that a lot of ppl at work who have listening via the web), and that we're help shape commercial response to Air America.

Will 2 people have much of an impact vis-a-vis additional advertising or a possible station pick up in Columbus? Asked another way, is Arbitron even a big deal to advertisers and station owners?
