Obama purchases half hour of primetime on CBS, also in talks with FOX, NBC... DEVELOPING...

[BossLady]

Oh no......he's just doing this to set the 'record' straight!!!! Who's record is the REAL question.... ;)

/sarcasm

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I dunno...it looks like he might be trying to head something off at the pass by going for broke on this.

[McGruff]

Maybe word of this caused Dow falls more than 600 points; markets in free-fall ?

[COBOL2Java]

Let’s hope he preempts a popular show. “Gol-dang it Martha! What happened to ‘American Idol’??? Who’s this idjit???”

[Always Independent]

Rather watch reruns of family matters. And I hate that show too!!

[montag813]

McCain surely should have seen this coming. In 1992 Clinton bought a 30-minute slot the night before the election. So did Perot. Only Bush failed to do so. Bush missed a golden opportunity to appeal to Perot voters one last time.

Will McCain make the same mistake? He MUST buy as much time as Obama does.

[dilvish]

Oh great, political infomercials. Like this election wasn’t painfully boring already.

[Poincare]

Where is the money coming from?

Saudi Arabia?

[The Bronze Titan]

McCain > purchase PRIME TIME HALF HOUR to outline AYERS / FANNY MAE / KENYA ....

[Natchez Hawk]

At least somebody has $ to burn...

[Longstreet63]

We don’t know why he’s doing this...it could be a myriad of things...but it is half an hour of choreographed BS...in that way it’s not good for McCain....

[Lou L]

A half-hour ad, and the following three hours with Olberman, NBC, CNN, et al, gushing over him...bleh!

[Interesting Times]

Good deal. The more he yammers, the more people have an opportunity to get sick of hearing him.

[albie]

Who says anyone will watch?

[austinaero]

Are we going to see the Obama good squad? Will the Obama youth be performing? How about the teen Obama militia?

I cannot articulate how little I think of Senator Obama.

[jennyjenny]

Oh, good idea! I’ve got a couple in the basement I can use to do the same thing.

[machogirl]

Funny, when a Republican with money runs for an office, the cries of “he’s trying to buy the election” reverberate from the leftist.

A leftist (Dem) uses their money to run for office, that’s okay according to the Demwits.

[Frantzie]

Saudis. This is part of Dear Leaders plan.

Wipe out the global financial system with CRA lawsuits, ACORN, Fannie & Freddie. Let Soros and pals wipe out the financial system. Get people so depressed then Obama comes on TV to reassure us.

JUST like Joe Biden said with FDR coming on TV.

Donate and volunteer.

[ncalburt]

I don't think so.
His actions and comments scream someone losing a lead very fast.
