Politics Everywhere

I was just watching game 1 of the worlds series, when instead of going to a commercial break, Fox had a 2 minute film about the history of baseball and politics, narrated by none other than Barack Obama, and John McCain. Each of them took turns reading off a line or two about a bill or situation where baseball was relevant. I was surprised that the MLB or Fox got them to do the narrating. Even in a baseball game, we're still hearing about the presidential race.
This isnt the only unusual place though. I also saw some "campainging"(if you call it that) against McCain in an episode of family guy Sunday night. Some characters went back in time and killed a natzi to get his uniform. When he got the uniform he noticed a blue dot, and zoomed in. It was a McCain & Palin button, which they left zoomed in for a couple of seconds, which of course implies that natzies support John McCain. I was surprised that a funny cartoon which never so blatenly talks about current events, would mention politics.
At this point, you couldnt avoid things even if you tried. Every other add, is an Obama add or McCain add, McCain had adds up on youtube recently, and you cant even watch a baseball game without hearing about John McCain, and Barack Obama. I get that its the political season, and its the big thing these days, but have other elections been like this? It seems like literally everyone has some opinion on issues and the candidates, opposed to the usual vote for the democrat or vote for the republican.All this election fever makes me happy to see people actually looking at issues, and i hope voting non-partisanly, so that we can elect the president who will be able to make the majority of Americans satisfied.
