The AARP (american association of retired people, huuuge membership and usually complacent) is calling for people not to vote this time because all the issues addressed are crap and none of the serious issues are being dealt with or even talked about.
You must not have been paying close attention to the ad. It was saying “don’t vote” until you understand where the candidates stand on important issues. I guess their ad wasn’t quite as clever as they imagined 
You can read more about the candidates at the site included in the AARP’s ad, http://www.dontvote.com
The whole point of the ad was to get more info about the 2006 election before voting, not to discourage people from voting.
