They must have money to burn. Spending 1.2 Million in West Virginia is nothing more than a feint to make Mc Cain respond in kind. Obama will lose W. VA by 10 points or more.

FBI not doing their job? Several million have come from foreign countries.

With this overwhelmimg ad blitz Obama should be 15 points ahead. It isn’t working, folks! The more he advertises, the more narrow the poll numbers are becoming.

I smell desperation and overkill.

Ask George Steinbrenner how buying his way to a championship has worked out?...Yankees have had the largest payroll in this decade and yet strangely enough, the championship has not resided in New York since Hillary became a senator there in 2000!

I’ve come to the conclusion that if the Feds won’t confirm his citizenship, won’t stop Acorn.....they won’t check to see where all this money is coming from.

I do agree there's cause for optimism.

What concerns me the most is that now, with just about everything having been put out there about this guy (Obama), a substantial portion of the electorate apparently still plans to vote for him.

He should be running third in this two-way race.

Something wrong and its like the opposition is at the mercy of how many crooked dollars they can raise. Oversight? Outrage? Accountability? nada....just let it happen seems to be the attitude.

The lovely Michelle is already celebrating with her $450 lunch for 2 (unless she was eating both lobsters herself) at the Waldorf Astoria.

Gee, where is he getting all this money from? Aren’t his supporters the ones who need the “wealth spread around” to? (major /s)

It’s 1933 deja vu. Let’s not let history repeat itself.

Obama bought 1/2 hour prime-time slots on CBS & NBC October 29th - 8 PM.

Perot was the last candidate to purchase such a large block.

My guess is they are trying to seal the deal with one last massive psychological programming effort.

This explains what Obama does in his speeches - and what people must be actively aware of see in no uncertain terms how they are being used as subjects for ‘suggestion’

There does come a point where people become angry by your ads, not energized by them to vote for you.

With this kind of ad blitz, Obama may actually hurt himself.

I sure hope so. We need everything we can to win.

He is a “citizen of the World” after all.

It's not the FBI's job -- it's the FEC's, and they're totally inept. He's taking advantage of  every loophole he can find.

Barone has it exactly right: Thugocracy.

Obama also put a hold on two nominations of FEC Commissioners so they are operating without the manpower and when they asked the DOJ to look into this they were told the DOJ doesn’t want to get involved in an election and will look at it after November 4th.

What does that tell you about this Administration?

That’s because a substantial portion of the electorate is just as evil and corrupt as he is.

If he went nationwide today and *admitted* he was a foreign born Muslim who was a terrorist sympathizer and totally behind the ACORN vote fraud, they would applaud his cheating and still vote for him.

Half of our country is either literally hypnotized by a neo-Rasputin *or* they are salivating over the “hope and change” that causes the downfall of America.
