What you heard are probably national ad buys.

McCain isn't concerned about Texas. But national ad buys play in all markets.

I just saw one today here in Ohio!

Undoubtedly part of the final 24 hour blitzkrieg by the goosesteppers.

Everything he says is a god damn joke. I honestly have a hard time believing that he's actually serious about what he says. But you know what they say--you can't make that shit up.

I wasn't aware they had figured out a way to free-base Kool-Aid but I see you are hooked. I'll pray for your recovery ;)

I disagree. I say it was right on time. The only way they could run these kinds of ads is at the very end with no time for scrutiny or a response. It's chickenshit politics at its finest.

They should have blanketed this all over the country weeks ago, to show everyone who Obama's "mentor" and "moral compas" really is.... Unfortunately McCain decided it was out of bounds, probably sealing his fate.

well, it would have opened ground for Obama to retaliate with ads showing how McCain actually donated $200,000 to Khalidi. ...a bit more damning that McCain's weak attacks concerning Obama being in the same room as the guy...

What really impresses me is that the GOP continues going after Obama with these extremely weak connections, when McCain's skeletons are far, far more damning, Obama still doesn't go after McCain about it...and Obama is still winning.

You know, most NFL coaches are fired for being poor game managers and poor strategists. McCain wants people to vote for him when his campaign strategies are a far more public display of failure.

Well, Obama went to Harvard and the Center for Marxist Education is located just down Mass Ave in Central Square. He must have walked by it once or twice.

I find it ironic that if John MCCain had sat in a church FOR 20 YEARS that supported white supremacy and said the pastor had said god damn America he wouldn't be able to be elected Dog Catcher any where.........

preaching 'rascism' was not the core of wrights ministry.

Ha, you think the church preached black supremacy?

I can say with full confidence you haven't listened to a single full sermon if you think that's the case.

Which makes you extraordinarily unqualified to comment on what was being preached for 20 years.

I find it ironic that Wright has been Obama's preacher for 20+ years, but they can only find two 2 ~5-second clips of the man saying something controversial.

Hell, I've uttered at least 20 seconds of stupid shit in just this past weekend.

They should have done these adds much earlier, I don't think there's enough time now to show the public the real Obama.

How can you be a Communist, Socialist, Antichirst, Muslim, and Racist
at the same time?


Just about each one of those ideals is in conflict with the other.




Repubs need to define themselves, and stop trying to assume or create the
identity of their opponents, especially in a schizophrenic fashion.

Its funny here in NV they are running the Wright as like crazy. Tongiht was just funny 4 ads in a row.
1st - the rev wright ad
2nd - Mccain ad using bidens words against obama
3rd - Something about obama meeting with terrorists and crazy world leaders
4th - Obama ad saying how he believes in America, how he'll fight for the economy

Maybe its just me but the way these played out it sure made me sad for the Republicans. I've yet to see one positive ad for Mccain the way Obama's ads play out. Its like the guy has no positive message and can only rely on making Obama look bad.

For what its worth, they are running some Rev Wright ads in Indiana also. At the same time Obama is slamming McCain on the economy.

I will be totally glad when this election is over and I do not have to see more insulting garbage political ads from both sides.
