Only Nevadans would have seen it as of this week. That will soon change as it starts running in Colorado and then Michigan.
It's an interesting situation because we at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee didn't do a media push on this. What I think happened based on what we tracked is that there was a post last night on DailyKos about a Kossack seeing the ad run in Nevada and he/she was apoplectic.
Somehow word got to Mark Halperin, and he wrote about it, and then the word spread to the others in the drive-by media.
I got (I kid you not) 8 phone calls or emails within 5 mintues from: ABC News, CBS Evening News, Fox News Channel, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times. And it was reported on at New York Newsday and The Politico within that same window.
The media REALLY does engage in pack journalism.
Yet had we put out 5 press releases announcing the start of this ad on the airwaves I betcha we wouldn't have gotten even one media outlet to report on it. That's my guess anyways.
No, McCain is not purposely throwing the election. It is Savage’s way of challenging McCain to step up to the plate and act like he really wants the Presidency.
McCain is quoted as saying he will kick some butt in the upcoming debate. There is tons of factual and visual material available to work with. He doesn’t have to make anything up.
The Marxist Onada needs to be squashed so there is no way The Messiah is ever resurrected again.
Awesome. And thank you for doing the work that the mainstream media refuses to do. I will be making a donation to your group.
We really need to support this effort. We got the email last night from Our Country Deserves Better and I'm planning on forwarding the info about this PAC and ads to many conservative friends. This group needs our support. Since they've already got the attention of the drive-by media, we need to keep the pressure on.
If enough of these ads are put on prime time TV they (MSM) will have to start talking about it. That's the only way they will ever be forced into touching these subjects, when enough people see the ads and start calling in and asking why they've never reported on it.
