    That use of "tri-state" ticks me off.

    If you go into a NY dealership and ask him the states in his tri-state, they'll probably say NY, NJ, CT.

    If you go into one in Western CT and ask the same, they'll probably say CT, NY , Mass. ( In Eastern CT, it might be CT,RI, Mass.)

    C'mon NY dealers. Which Tr-state association are you in?

    Of course, it is all BS.

    The IS no "tri-state" association of dealers.

    They're too cheap to have individual state commercials, so they made that stuff up to save money (and to make you think they're part of something big).

    "Don't take Rinvoq if you're allergic to Rinvoq"



    You only get wisdom like that from prescription medicine commercials.

    The people who bought an ad on a national broadcast against Stacy Abrams are complaining that she's bankrolled by out-of-state interests.

    The "doesn't stand for hard-working Georgians" part was nakedly racist.

    Advertising these days is very regionalized and seems even re-regionalized

    if that's a thing. I got an ad earlier for a baked potato cooker you put in the

    microwave. Groundbreaking stuff... $19.95. It was like something you might

    see if you can't sleep at 3AM on MeTV. Pardon my lack of brevity.



    (for those reading this at a later time, this was on a Nationally broadcast ESPN

    Mets game on a Sunday night)

    A lot of the ads have felt like low-budget late-night spots tonight. And yet they're being broadcast nationally in prime time.

    this is a standard complaint in states outside NY/CA/TX/FL about any candidate with lots of funds raised. nothing racist there.

    "All without raising taxes!"



    Like that has ever happened regardless of who the ad is for.

    the rest of the ad was more specific.



    And that's obviously above and beyond that the entire national republican platform is racism and misogyny, so when your platform is racist, and you run an attack ad against a black woman..i mean..

    they are running an attack ad against a candidate, and its a pretty generic attack ad (the one that aired last night during the game - i dont know what else they have aired) with nothing racist about it.
