Obama purchases network TV time

Friday, Oct. 10, 2008 | 2 a.m.

News that Barack Obama has purchased a half-hour of network TV time (he wouldn’t dare preempt “Face to Face”) is stunning for several reasons. The half-hour, on Oct. 29, will give Obama a chance to make his closing arguments, so to speak. But how many people will be annoyed by seeing their prime-time schedule messed up? And how many people want to listen to the guy, no matter how eloquent he is, for another 30 minutes after about 30,000 minutes of him for the past two years? But the real conclusion, amid reports Obama is outspending John McCain 3-to-1 in battleground states, is this, as The Politico’s Ben Smith succinctly put it: “I’m starting to get the sense that fundraising is going pretty good in Obamaland.” Um, yeah.

ACORN lobbyist/trainer/Lawyer/hack Barack Obama is out to prove you can both steal an election, and buy an election.

Ohio is well on the way to being another FL.

Of Obama's close to $1 billion collected has 200 million dollars of small donations have "no name" attached to it.

Obama looks to be able to spend $200 million to McCain's $88 million in the last two months.
