Why is Obama running a 30 minute special and McCain is not?
None | 10-29-08

Posted on 10/29/2008 7:46:35 AM PDT by silentknight

Can someone tell me why McCain is not buying prime time television? Why is Obama? Isn't the Republican Party able to buy/afford to purchase McCain's message for prime time?

Does anyone know?

Sort of angry about this. I think it will give Obama an unfair advantage.

Thoughts?

$$$$$$$, Obama didn’t take public funds as he promised he’d do, so he’s way ahead in the money game.

I really don’t think its a big deal. I don’t think people want to look at Obama before a baseball game...it should backfire.

I wonder if Obama gets to keep the excess money he does not spend.

I’ve been asking the question, “Where ARE the wealthy Republicans, the conservative leaders with clout” who can finance counter-responses?

And someone answered that the wealthy Republicans with clout are afraid of being tagged racists.

I just shake my head.

Because Obama has tons o’ money. At the end of the commercial, we will find out that every member of the audience gets a car.

Should it surprise you, at this late date, that the McCain campaign is, to be generous, poorly run?

Almost from the moment he got the nomination, he’s mismanaged this race.

obama is getting desperate, cause the poll numbers released to us are a lie.

Maybe wealthy conservatives with clout are holding their donations until an election that has a real conservative running.
