What you heard are probably national ad buys.

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

Yep. I've been seeing a lot of McCain ads here in Mississippi, a state which he couldn't lose if he tried.

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.

:thumbsup:

if I hear the Lance Dance or Linda Stender is a Spender one more time, I might cry.

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.........

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.

If he's not so bad of a guy, then why did Obama dump him in 2 seconds after he made the national media?

Oh, I never said he wasn't "so bad a guy." But if he *is* such a bad guy, why are there only 2 examples of what I'd call "mildly controversial" statements in 20+ years of preaching?

I'm not defending anyone, just questioning the attackers...
