So just looked at my guide tonight. Obama owns the 7pm - 730pm slot on ALL the 4 major networks!

I heard about the FOX spot and them moving the world series for him, but wow.

What did that cost?

I assume this is a recorded message?
 
well when you have 150 million$ in the war chest:eek:
 
It will be something like this:

I remember the day when Republicans ruled the day in fundraising and it was described as an unfair advantage. Now that the tide has turned, a significant financial advantage is now considered evidence of support. Interesting how this item is depicted in the media now that the shoe is on the other foot.

The big difference is that a significant amount of campaign contributions for obama are non-traceable (and most likely illegal) because obama is not using public financing.
 
Campaign finance is DEAD.

Just watched Obama's special. Same stuff, different day.

I do like how they have moved the "Everyone making more than $250k will be taxed" (to death" to now $200k. Whats next? $150k? $100k?

Didn't think you were "rich"? Just wait. You will be (from a tax perspective) in the next 8 years!
 
We were curious, so we watched it.

Extremely well done. I'll bet he gets a nice bounce in the polls from this.
 
as skippy alluded to, we'll see what kinda bounce he gets.

i think it'll be interesting to see who actually wins the election... i don't think it's "over" (either way) by a long shot.

oh and, yes, i'm sure the hundreds of millions he's received in campaign contributions are all illegal. :rolleyes:

I've always understood it to be 200k for individuals and 250k per couple. That's where the numbers come from.
 
In the spirit of the Obama message I think he should give part of his funds to McCain since Obama has been able raise more funding. Of course Obama will say he has worked harder the last two years and deserves the extra funds but one should practice what he preaches and even the funding out with candidates that are much less fortunate. :rolleyes:

haha I laughed at this :tongue:
 
I thought I was going to be able to get an awesome auger if I called in the first 5 minutes. I guess if you have dump trucks full of cash buying out TV is as good of use as any. He could also buy NSX's for independents to bribe them, Obama feel free to PM me.
 
Instead of giving cash to McCain, just trade VP's for the weekend. That will make it more even, and you know the reaching across the isle thing looks good and the voters really dig it:wink: McCain could use all the help he can get at this point cause the Palin bounce has flopped.

C'mon, lets not be so partisan about it. Anyone w/ $150M+, whether Republican or Democrat didn't get it w/o f-ing a few people along the way.

I f-ed a few people along the way (even two chicks at once one night) and didn't even get my drinks paid for.. :biggrin:
 
Reminds me of those really cheesy movies, "Your supreme ruler loves you".etc etc etc on every TV channel, on every digital billboard and the people get mesmorized by it. How creepy is that?

:rolleyes::eek: The mere fact that we vote for one candidate or the other makes us all partisan. :biggrin: We will have no fence sitters by election day. :smile:

Oh, I bet we will have plenty of fence sitters on election day. As "historic" as this election is, the "undecideds" will let election day come and go - like they do every election.
