Using the spot price for a 30 sec ad, it works out to over $3.5 million.

I don’t know why B.O. is buying any t.v. time. He has it 24-7 on MSNBC, CBS, CNBC, ABC, CNN.

30 sec of Prime Time Commercial:

$300,000 to $400,000

X 30 min = $36 Million to $48 Million

McCain should buy 5 minutes following Obama, it’s all anyone will remember. Hey Obama, how about a piggy back ride?

Exactly! The theme should be "Sham-WOW! Half an hour? Do you get a set of taxpayer-paid steak knives with that? Let ME tell you the truth in less than five minutes!"

I don't like hostile black racists who practice communism and associate with terrorists either.

I guess I am not politically correct enough to embrace absolute evil.

Anybody remember that great Dukakis After Dark skit on SNL? He purchased a similar chunk of time, but by the time it was to air he knew he was going to lose so it was like the old Playboy club tv show. Best part was Matthew Modine as Lloyd Bentsen telling anyone who’d listen what he’d said to Dan Quayle.

Really nice tag line ya got there, Dude.

I noticed that, too. And a recent sign-on date. And a remark about the "Christian myth..."

Does anyone else smell a troll? {sniff! sniff!}

Uh, per election laws, doesn’t McCain also get equal time?
______________

I’m sure that mcCain will have the same opportunity to buy a 30 minute block on preime time. Anyone feel like coughing up bucks for McCain’s 30 minutes?

"What did CBS charge, a dollar? NBC probably wants two."

Why would NBC want any payment? They've been donating their time whenever possible for months now.

First off, your math is off (by a factor of 2). Secondly, there are probably charging Obama the amount of commercial money they would lose during a 30 minute spot. Commercials are what percentage of a 30 minute spot?
