I've searched various news sites and haven't found anything about this, and frankly I'm dubious about the source. But, I saw a "news item" during a short ride in an elevator, which said that McCain was buying a 30-second ad to run a "pre-buttal" just before Obama's 30-minute informercial tonight.
If true, I'm guessing it's a one-time announcement similar to the one where he congratulated Obama for winning the Democratic nomination, and was broadcast just prior to the Greek column-fest in Denver.
Anyone else heard about this, or what he might say? Another FR poster suggested what I thought was a great idea, and I'll propose my version:
"You won't be seeing any 30-minute ads from me on almost every network, because I can't afford them. At the beginning of this campaign, I pledged to accept public campaign funds, along with the limits that it imposed on my fundraising. Obama promised to do so, as well, then reneged on that promise. So, enjoy the show and be sure to vote for the candidate of your choice on November 4th. I'm John McCain, and I approved this message."
It’s too bad that Cindy McCain can’t purchase a 5 minute spot to be used post-infomerical. Keep the rebutal short and sweet.
LOL! I forgot about that scene...
If television is like radio, then (1) no network can refuse to sell time (2) the time has to be sold for the lowest going rate.
I have a friend who's sales manager for a large group of radio stations. He said the primaries killed them b/c Obambi bought so much time which had to be sold for bottom dollar.

Excellent video AU.
How do we know that's a fake name? I'm just sayin...
I died laughing when I saw that. It would be just such a perfect response for the Messiah’s Grand Speech for The Ages.
I think McCain should look into the camera and say:
“The following 30 minutes will be another attempt by a narcistic elite who is trying to buy the election. As for me, I’ll be watching the World Series Pre-game on ESPN.”
I represent Americanism.
I'm John McCain and I approve this message."
Whatever McCain’s message, he better run it BEFORE the Messiah’s infomercial, since most likely 90% of the viewers will turn the channel after a few minutes.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! Good response!
