PHILADELPHIA — Senator Barack Obama is days away from breaking the advertising spending record set by President Bush in the general election four years ago, having unleashed an advertising campaign of a scale and complexity unrivaled in the television era.
With advertisements running repeatedly day and night, on local stations and on the major broadcast networks, on niche cable networks and even on video games and his own dedicated satellite channels, Mr. Obama is now outadvertising Senator John McCain nationwide by a ratio of at least four to one, according to CMAG, a service that monitors political advertising. That difference is even larger in several closely contested states.

Just goes to show what unlimited illegal money can buy you...
So what ever became of ‘Campaign Finance Reform’ anyway?
And yet Obama can’t lock it in. This should tell him something. He’s spending the money because he knows he will most likely loose the race.
with McCains money and the Rnc money mccain was supposed to be about even with hussien.....we should have plenty of money....
Two other thoughts... $500,000 of Swift Boat truth beat $50 million dollars of Soros/MoveOn money in 04 and The Marxist had a huge ad advantage in PA in the primary and got beaten like a stubburn mule. People got sick of the constant ads.
I’m curious, how much money is 0bama spending? It seems as though he’s going all out, spending a couple million a day in TV ads. The same goes for the DNC. If they keep spending like a drunken sailor, how much will they have during the final week?
Besides, all this money and the race is still tight, with McCain/Palin surging.

Senator Feingold extending and revising his remarks: And thanks, John, for reaching across the aisle and making deals with us Democrats. WE appreciate your help very much. America will be so much better off when we progressives control all three branches of government.
If illegal campaign funds from our enemies overseas can’t buy the election for Obama, ACORN will steal it.
DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN.
FIGHT!
OBAMA AND HIS GROUP OF MARXISTS/MUSLIM’S REVOLUTION MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
McCain’s anemic attempts to fight Obama back is losing this election.

But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
They want you to believe that his money will buy the election.
THE ONLY WAY FOR THE GOP TO DEFEAT OBAMA/BIDEN IS TO FLIP THE GOP TICKET FROM McCAIN/PALIN TO PALIN/McCAIN!!!!!
THAT WOULD BE THE GREATEST UPSET OF ALL TIME IN US ELECTION HISTORY AND WITH ONLY .000001% CHANCE OF THAT OCCURRING.
NRA money and voters in places like PA, WS, MN can overcome Big Brother Obama being on every TV set.
Where is Obama getting this money (saudis & law firms and Lib billionaires?)?
I am doing my part with the checkbook and credit card for RNC, McCain and Tancredo’s PAC.

Make sure we are all at local McCain HQ helping out with GOTV the weekend before the election.
For the sake of conversation........I do not hate to “Disagree” on this one. I will not give up on my country until it is lost. Then they will have to hunt me down. I will not give up on the heritage that my father left me.
I think Sen. McCain believe the “surge” strategy works for more than just Iraq...
After reading through some of your old posts, I see that you’ve been a defeatist for quite some time now. I bet that you’re the type that always sees the glass as half-empty rather than half-full. Most other FReepers are the type that don’t quit until the final whistle of the game is blown. I’ll now see your name and immediately think “quitter”.
I think a lopt of corporations in the last week may start sending money to Repubs if they see Obama sinking.
Where is Obama and the DNC getting the money? (?saudis?)
