Sen. John McCain and the Republican National Committee will unleash a barrage of spending on television advertising that will allow him to keep pace with Sen. Barack Obama's ad blitz during the campaign's final days, but the expenditures will impact McCain's get-out-the-vote efforts, according to Republican strategists.
McCain has faced a severe spending imbalance during most of the fall, but the Republican nominee squirreled away enough funds to pay for a raft of television ads in critical battleground states over the next four days, said Evan Tracey, a political analyst who monitors television spending.
The decision to finance a final advertising push is forcing McCain to curtail spending on Election Day ground forces to help usher his supporters to the polls, according to Republican consultants familiar with McCain's strategy....

And that Obama doesn’t keep his word. He won’t keep his word to Seniors either. The past is prologue. Obama has only helped dem victim groups. He has never helped seniors.
I'm sorry, disregard my last post, I read your post incorrectly.
If Obama is losing the youth vote, he REALLY is in trouble!
I don't see him picking up the older vote since they see him as young, know nothing, punk.
In the last few days that vote (over 50) is moving toward Obama. He’s lied to them about social security and McCain has not answered. It’s easy to scare people too old to work. And that’s what dems do...
You've been reading too much Democrat propaganda.
This guy will be seen by most older people as a smug, no nothing, little punk.
If the toe sucker is delivering good news, we're doomed.
Excellent news. GOTV is the key to the whole operation.
“...they hate the idea of spreading the wealth around whereas the seniors were shifting to Barry.”
Dick Morris went on to say though that this will shift when word is out more on the 10-12million illegal immigrants that Obama wants to immediately become legal with social security and socialist medicine/doctors to care for them....which he said, means that IF you are not serious enough for a heart transplant and many in front of you...you don’t get it. ONCE this is put out there more, this should get numbers back on McCains side.
People work at age 50 and 60 and 70!
the morning talk shows mentioned that many obama youth student workers are NOT ACTUALLY REGISTERED TO VOTE!
I guess they like the easy money and free pizza.
GOP voters are very motivated to vote.
They see Obama as a third world attempt to take over the United States-which it is!
Note him throwing off his plane, reporters from three newspapers whose editorial page supported McCain, to make room for a documentary crew to do a film on HIM.
And to make access for two Black magazines, Jet and Essence.
This will not go over well with the average voter.
LOL!
Remember Kerry's 'Rock the Vote' efforts fell flat also.
Thanks, Princess. I hope the seniors were tuned in for that.
Has anyone else noticed the EMPTY obama offices on this late date? not empty as in people in the field, I mean empty as in they have never been used. Signs in the window to try and conceal the fact nobody is there.
I wonder if the paid volunteers are just skimming off the money.
It is sal alynski rules for radicals, fake your numbers.
Dear McCain,
Please show a ton of ads during the Redskins/Steelers Monday Night Game. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
Edna Mode.
If he can’t spend as much as he planned on GOTV efforts, then I hope he’ll accept more volunteers, and tell them what needs to be done. Poll watchers, too, are critical.
Not all battlegrounds have early voting.
If anything we now have CROSS STATE VOLUNTEERING.
YOU, can call to another state to help the GOTV effort.
I had a grandfather who worked until he was in his early 90’s - but it’s the exception. Maybe Obama’s social security plan is to have all the old people work until they die... He’s known for telling the truth, right? /s
